The market centre is home to the largest covered market in Europe, by that I mean it has a roof..no…read moresides. Then again it is a real find as markets are rapidly vanishing all over the country. So you can browse and bargain in comfort. There are over 300 stalls here, selling everything from fresh fruit and veg, textiles, fish, cheese and vast collections of 'stuff', so you are sure to find something you like. The market has a 700 year old tradition for fine quality, and I would recommend the Red Leicester cheeses, the Melton Mowbray pies (I am told are wonderful) and all the fruit and veg seems fresh and is sold off cheaply at the end of the day. For football fans go to Gary Linekers Dad. Not the name of the stall, but Gary Linekers family have run a fruit and vegetable stall here for a fair few years. Aptly called 'Linekers Fruit and Veg stall', come here to buy fresh products and also to pay your respects to Gary's daddy. A few bric a brac stalls have now crept in..you may find that wonderful find but I doubt it. Some wonderful fabric stalls selling really well priced furnishing and clothing fabrics..often as cheap as wholesale. With over 300 stalls, everyday the market offers a variety of fresh produce and bargains.

Fosse Park is large out of town retail park close to Leicester. It is easily accessible from the M1…read moreand M69 motorways or about 15 minutes from Leicester city center. I worked in the Fosse Park Next for nearly 2 years so I know the place very well. There are about 20 large clothes stores including M&S, Next, River Island and plenty of electrical and home stores as well as a large Asda. Parking is free, but at busy times it can be difficult to find a space. At Christmas and sale times people can be seen abandoning their cars on the approach roads to the park! In all well worth a visit if you dont want the hassle of the city center, with all the shops you will need.

There is also an Asda Petrol station with pay at pump and a carwash. In the main area of Fosse Park there are quite a good range for of shops like Dorothy Perkins, BHS, GAP, Monsoon, Boots, Marks and spencer. The opening hours are good and on Sundays most shops there don't close until 5pm which is gretat There is also quite a large food court with a McDonals, KFC, Pizza Hut, Druckers, sandwich bar etc but it gets really busy and you will struggle to get a table sometimes. The large carpark gets very full up at the weekend so avoid peak times. On the plus side, the car park is free. Cross the road near BHS and you get to the furniture/electrical part of Fosse Park where you will find shops like PC World, Argos, Harveys. You can spend a good day at Fosse Park without heading into Leicester city centre and having the expense of car parking.

Yet another Leicester, rather than Leicester Square shop…read more This is like all the other shops in the chain - really fun to go into and repeatedly ask the staff how much things are. Of course, nowadays there is an increasing number of items for sale at 2 or 3 for a pound, which makes the pricing scheme slightly more interesting. As with any pound shop, some of the stuff is slightly overpriced at a pound compared to what you'd pay in a supermarket whereas some stuff is really cheap. There are some branded products which you'll be familiar with and other products which are of questionable quality. This particular branch is a long narrow shop with stairs down halfway along. It gets quite full, particularly because of the queues at the entrance and that means it can be hard to negotiate around. Definitely one to avoid if you've got a pushchair or wheelchair with you.

John Lewis & Partners in Leicester is one of the two anchor stores in Highcross, it has access to…read morethe mall via the upper level and it is also across the way via street level, it is in a fantastic modern building and the store does look good from the outside. It is probably one of the best department stores in the city of Leicester, over four floors with toilets on three of them, there is also a cafe on the upper floor as well as a small yet decent technology section. I do feel the store could have been staffed a little more throughout the store to maintain the good levels of customer service one would expect to find from a John Lewis Partnership location. There are slightly more services at the Birmingham location which isn't too far away on the train but for a small city, it isn't bad at all, and I do feel this store structure and presence makes the Highcross mall better as a whole. 4*
