West End of Leicester

West End of Leicester

The West End of Leicester, England is an inner city area just west of the city centre, on the opposite side of the River Soar (past the West Bridge). The main roads in the area are Braunstone Gate, Hinckley Road and Narborough Road.

The proximity to De Montfort University makes it a popular student area. Further to the south is the Braunstone estate, and to the west is the Dane Hills area.

The area was developed quite late, due to land ownership, and therefore is somewhat less dense than other inner city areas like Highfields and Belgrave.
