Leicester is a city in Leicestershire, England, with about 369,000 people and roots going back more than 2,000 years to the Iron Age and Roman settlement of Ratae Corieltauvorum. It later grew into an important medieval market town and became a major textile and hosiery centre during the Industrial Revolution. Today Leicester is known for its multicultural character, Roman and medieval remains, sport, live music and the rediscovery of King Richard III, whose remains were found in the city in 2012. Key sights include Leicester Cathedral, the King Richard III Visitor Centre, the Jewry Wall, the Guildhall, the New Walk Museum and the Cultural Quarter. Getting in and around is straightforward via Leicester railway station, with direct trains to London, Birmingham and Nottingham, and East Midlands Airport nearby.
