Life in Leicester, UK

  • I went back to Leicester and decided to interview Elly and Casey to ask about quality of life and living expenses in Leicester. Obviously, I already lived there for 6 years with my parents, but I wanted to ask other people what it is like living in this city and think about whether I should settle down in Leicester in the near future.
    Elly's interview: 1:42
    Casey's interview: 13:27
    Conclusion: 19:11
    🐻 About Me:
    My name is Anica and I was born and raised in Italy, Rome in 1998. I'm originally from Bangladesh and I've been living in the UK for 6 years, so you could say I'm multinational. I'm studying Adult Nursing at the University of Nottingham, but I'm probably going to be like those people who study something and end up doing something completely different as a career.
    ✈️ My UA-cam Project:
    It's a research about me travelling to explore, interview people and tell you about life satisfaction and living expenses of different cities across the UK. This is so that I can find the right place to live. I hope this project helps you to decide where you want to live next too.

    You can tell these people weren’t born in a Leicester. They’re living in the high end of Leicester. Try looking at places like Braunstone and New Parks and tell me about your green spaces and nice restaurants lol.

    Leicester is an amazing place because it has everything you will find in a big city but all within a small area, it takes about 30 minutes to walk from one side of Leicester City to the other. This is combined with the atmosphere and slower pace of life of living in a small town. A perfect combination!

    I was bought up in Leicester, We moved about 15 years ago to Devon it’s the best move we could of ever made. The air is cleaner and in general places just look tidier and better kept. Sometimes we go back to visit family and our over all impression is things certainly look
    worse than when we left. The Narborough road looks terrible, although Leicester has always attracted the Asian community this time we were surprised by how many Eastern European’s were on the streets drinking, my wife didn’t feel safe which was sad. The restaurants are very good in Leicester if you love your curry etc as we do. Although we have left I will always have a soft spot for Leicester, it’s not a place I could live now but I do wish it the best for the future. I would say the best parts in Leicester would be out towards Bradgate Park, Kirby Muxloe and Blaby areas. Good video very informative for anybody looking to move.

Leicester is such a cesspit now, I didn’t think I would ever say this, but I absolutely despise it now! I would rather die now than to spend the rest of my days here!

I am vegan and have been for 12 years now and at my happiest, fittest and healthiest. Lovely interview. There are some great historical and beautiful places to visit and explore in Leicester. I would not like to live anywhere else.

    Hiiii, I'm kind of planning to go to Leicester for a 6 moths exchange, so would you recommend me to go there? I'm actually kind of worried about the sense of belonging that you talked about I'm from México so, for me, that's kind of important haha

    • @SoloAnn
      @SoloAnn  2 роки тому

      Hi! I don’t feel sense of belonging in Leicester. A lot of people don’t like the city. We’ve seen better cities in the UK with so many interesting people such as Edinburgh, Nottingham, London, Brighton, Bristol etc… But I would advise you to live in Leicester to have a taste of it. You’re only going to be in Leicester for 6 months, it’s not a lot. Maybe you’ll end up liking it. In fact, there are good places in Leicester such as Aylestone Park, the city centre of Leicester, Town Hall and New Walk. If you want to eat out, Leicester offers a lot of cuisine from different countries. Good luck!
