Jewellery, beautiful clothing, Indian sweets - it's all there at a reasonable price. A great place to while away an afternoon window shopping. Belgrave Road is also the heart of Leicester's annual Diwali celebration - the biggest outside of India or so I've heard. This is a fab occasion with the Road lit up like Blackpool Illuminations and fireworks to match on the Cossington Rec ground. Also live entertainment and what have you - a great excuse for a night out the day of the lights switch on as well as Diwali day itself.

I dont live to far from Belgrave road which brings the country of India to Leicester. Wonderful restaurants and sweet marts are spread accross the roads as well as ethnic wear of the Indian culture. It is a road where major events happen or pass by and is always busy. There are dessert parlours, shops and something for everyone to do. When i am tired i usually go and sit in the park located 1 minute from the road. Recently the road had a diwali celebration where the roads have lights and a major firework show which overshadowed the entire area. For a short trip to India, belgrave road is the next best.

I used to pass this florists on my way home when I used to bike home in Hinckley and occasionally…read morebought flowers or sometimes they had little ornaments (still have a wooden pig I got from here). Luckily we've moved now so I don't have to have any urges to get flowers for the missus. The shop itself is fairly small but they have a few arrangements out. If you like you can browse the catalogues they have to see what you want. This is especially necessary for wedding and funeral needs. We got all our wedding flowers, button holes etc from here. You have to park on the busy street outside or walk the long way from the town to visit here but it is worth it as they are very nice and helpful and not particularly expensive. Appearently the council are putting up a blue plaque on the building as a famous spiritualist used to live here or something.

Thank you so much to Jillys flowers for going above and beyond to help me out. I called them today…read moreat 12:30 and asked if it was possible to have a delivery of flowers to my son and daughter law. I did not realise they closed at 1pm on a Saturday. I was told they were going to be closing shortly but would be happy to deliver first thing on Monday. When I explained how desperate I was to get these flowers to my family today and explained my circumstances there was no hesitation to oblige. The flowers arrived just after 1pm and I have been told that they are wonderful. Thank you so much for your great service.
