UK Trip Pt 6 -Leiceister City

Leicester is a small beautiful community with a rural atmosphere that blends suburban living with highly respected schools and shopping. If you are a laid-back person with family, Leicester is a wonderful place to live, work and an alluring place to visit.

I love this town.

I asked my cousin to drop me off at the town. First i went to the infamous Primark and then just walkaround Highcross.

Highcross has a beautiful design.

Primark -Good stuff there!

Bridge to Highcross


The shopping part is OK. But what i like most about Leicester is:

The Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower

Thats me freezin

The Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower is a major landmark and popular meeting point in Leicester City Centre, Leicestershire, England. It is located roughly in the middle of the area inside the ring-road, and is at the point where five major streets (Gallowtree Gate, Humberstone Gate, Belgrave Gate, Church Gate and Eastgates) meet, and also close by to the junction with Cheapside.

Nice time

Leicester Market -This market might look ordinary but it is 'Britain's Favourite Market 2009'

It was located near the clock tower. I spent about 1.5 hours just walking around the town and enjoy the view. Found starbucks and had the best hot chocolate i've ever had... i think i love the heater there the most. I sat there for about an hour and it was nice. Just doing nothing but staring at people.

The evening ended with a funny story:

Being a tourist, i like to try the public transport so i took a bus home. The driver realised i was a tourist and gave me a free ride. People are generally nicer towards tourist huh? Cool!
