Leicester London Road, mentioned above, is now the only train station in the city centre, after the closure of Leicester Belgrave Road and Leicester Central in the 1960s.
•
The historic city of Leicester was founded by the Romans at the crossing of the River Soar by the Fosse Way, between the current path of the river and the modern Gallowtree Gate.
•
Where the A50 crosses the Soar, the boundary runs south, including Great Central Street in LE1, but not the waterfront.
•
The area in the inside of the ring-road is nearly entirely built up, with only Nelson Mandela Park (at the extreme south, in Southfields), and Town Hall Square being considerable open spaces.
