Sitting to the south of Leicester’s city centre, Knighton Fields is a residential suburb that borders some of the city’s more established southern neighbourhoods. The area takes its name from the historic fields that once stretched across this part of Leicestershire, and today it is characterised by rows of houses and quiet streets typical of mid-city suburban living. Knighton itself lies close by, and the proximity to Victoria Park and the wider Oadby corridor makes this part of Leicester a practical base for those who want access to green space without straying far from the urban core.
Getting Around
Knighton Fields is well connected within Leicester’s road network, with routes running north towards the city centre and south towards the outer suburbs. Regular bus services link the area to the wider city, making it straightforward to reach central Leicester without a car. The suburb sits close enough to the Welford Road and London Road corridors to benefit from the transport links those routes provide.
