About North Evington
Where to stay in North Evington
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
North Evington is an administrative division of Leicester rather than a visitor quarter, so the rooms that serve it are the city's own, booked a short ride from the ward boundary. Nothing here is built for tourists. Anyone with an interest in the Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph or the Church of St Barnabas can walk both from a single base inside the ward.
Leicestershire's wider stock lies beyond the city.
