Town Hall Square sits at the civic centre of Leicester, directly in front of the city’s Victorian town hall. The square is a publicly accessible open space and one of the more recognisable gathering points in the city centre, used by residents and visitors throughout the year. It is fully wheelchair accessible, making it easy to reach and move around for people of all abilities.
Character and Setting
The square’s position alongside Town Hall gives it a formal, civic character, with the ornate red-brick building providing a notable backdrop. The surrounding streets connect to the wider city centre, placing Town Hall Square within easy walking distance of Leicester’s main shopping areas, cultural venues, and transport links. As a park-classified open space, it provides a pause from the busier pedestrian routes nearby.
