Reasons Why You Should Move to Leicester – Right Now!

Whether you are looking for a residential removal in Leicestershire or thinking of possibly a commercial removal – Leicester has a lot to offer.

Here at Stokes Removals, we decided to help you with making your decision, making sure you not only learn about the city but what opportunities Leicester offers (whether you are moving for an office relocation or house removals) and why you should call for help with a removal company.

Location

Situated in the East Midlands, Leicester lies on the River Soar and stands at a convenient distance from major UK cities such as Nottingham, Birmingham, and London. This European sustainable city combines the hustle and bustle of urban life with the charm of countryside roads and smaller villages, offering a perfect balance for anyone looking to relocate. Outside of the city, you are relieved of the city ambience and greeted with countryside roads, smaller villages, as well as friendly and welcoming locals.

A city of business 

You will find a wealth of businesses, ranging from small to global, across the city and surrounding areas.

With a range of amenities close by, Leicester is the perfect place to move to—whether you are looking for business opportunities or moving there with your family.

Educational Excellence and Vibrant Student Life

Leicester is home to top-tier educational institutions like De Montfort University and Leicester University, which are renowned for their academic excellence and diverse student communities. Whether you’re a student or have family members pursuing education, Leicester offers a thriving academic environment. The city centre is filled with student-friendly amenities, including libraries, cafes, and study spaces. The Leicester Museum & Art Gallery (formerly known as the New Walk Museum) provides enriching cultural experiences, and the over 900-year-old Leicester Cathedral offers a blend of history and spirituality.

Sports and Entertainment Hub

For sports enthusiasts, Leicester is a city that lives and breathes athletics. Home to Leicester City Football Club and Leicestershire County Cricket Club, the city offers year-round excitement with thrilling matches and events. Additionally, Leicester’s music venues and entertainment options ensure there’s always something happening. The Leicester City Centre boasts an extensive network of bars, restaurants, and venues that cater to all tastes. Plus, with easy access to other major cities and major UK cities, you can enjoy Leicester’s vibrant scene while staying connected to the broader sports and entertainment world.

Tourist Attractions

Leicester has many attractions for you to explore, especially with the most famous attraction, the King Richard III Visitor Centre, coming into light.

Leicester will be able to provide you with a wide range of touristy features, from family all-time favourite events to enriching historical attractions and multi-cultural cuisine experiences – there is something for the whole family (or new office staff!).

Affordable Living and Housing Options

Leicester is one of the more affordable cities in the UK, with an average rental price that is competitive compared to other urban areas. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to rent a property or purchase a home. The average house price is also reasonable, making it accessible for families and individuals alike. Additionally, the Leicester City Council offers a range of services and support that can be beneficial for new residents and ensure a smooth transition into your new community.

Finding the Right Moving Team for You

There are so many benefits to utilising a removal company when you are relocating to Leicester.

One example is that you can have professional assistance with your packing – making sure that your items are packed efficiently so there is no risk during transit, giving you peace of mind and reassurance that there will be no breakage.

As well as being a fully-stocked service, you will also be able to discuss variables such as the date and time you wish to move and a list of any heavy or fragile items that need extra TLC.

This can be an excellent form of communication for both you and your removal service, allowing you both to have a clear understanding of the task at hand. It is also a great idea to state which items you would like to pack yourself to stop any confusion and any items you wish to leave in storage.
