Filbert Village

Set up your study home right by the banks of Grand Union Canal and within easy reach of the lively city centre. Head to Richard III Visitor Centre to learn all about the notorious 15th century king, whose body was recently discovered under a local car park, and continue your education with a visit to New Walk Museum and Art Gallery. When you want some peace and quiet, take a leisurely stroll along the riverbank. Or for some excitement, get tickets for a Leicester City FC football match at the King Power Stadium.

Your riverside home is really well situated, with De Montfort University only 10 minutes walk away and the University of Leicester just a little further. Outside of studying you can shop in St Martin’s Square, discover historic gems like Jewry Wall and enjoy authentic Indian culture on the vibrant Golden Mile.

On your way back to Filbert Village stop off in the local supermarket to pick up ingredients for dinner, then head back to base to share recipes with your flat-mates in the communal kitchen. If you prefer the privacy of a studio or one-bed apartment, prepare a home-cooked meal for one.

After dinner take a refreshing shower in your private bathroom before going out again, or just relax in your room and Skype friends and family back home. If you’ve got more study to do, use the desk area to get some work done.

When you’d like to take a breather, the common room is the ideal place. Chill on the sofas and watch the wide-screen TV, or play a game of table tennis. Alternatively, get your washing done in the laundry and pass the time chatting with fellow students. Pick up a snack from the vending machine if you’re still feeling peckish.

The CCTV, bike store, secure door entry and 24/7 service teams provide peace of mind and complete security. You won’t need to worry about keeping some money back for utilities, Internet access or contents insurance either, because they’re included too.
