Leicester city centre is home to the Haymarket and the Shires shopping centres, both of which face the famous Clock Tower. Leicester Market, Europe's largest covered market, is nearby. The historic core of the city lies slightly to the west, and monuments here include the Castle, the Anglican cathedral of St Martin, the medieval churches of St Mary de Castro and St. Nicholas, the Guildhall and the Jewry Wall.
Oadby is a town approximately 4 miles Southeast of Leicester city centre.
The town is most famous for Leicester Racecourse, situated on the border between Oadby and Leicester, and the University of Leicester Botanic Garden.
The success of Beauchamp College makes Oadby an attractive location for families with children.
