Leicester General Hospital, also known as the City General, is one of the main NHS hospital sites serving the city of Leicester. It sits to the south-east of the city centre, forming part of the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust alongside the Leicester Royal Infirmary and Glenfield Hospital. The surrounding area is largely residential, with streets of housing extending in most directions and good road connections linking the site to the wider city.
Getting There
The hospital is accessible by several bus routes running from central Leicester, making it reachable without a car for many residents. The surrounding roads connect to main arterial routes heading south and east out of the city, which helps staff, patients, and visitors travelling from across Leicestershire and beyond.
