Guest Posted 21 July 2008 Share Posted 21 July 2008 (edited) Introductory Post This is a guide to the King Power, how to get there, where to drink, and for those who want to, where to stay. The aim is to help, not just Foxiles, but awayers too. This is an ongoing project, and it would be difficult to include every single place of interest at the first attempt. The aim is to keep this updated, and if anyone has any suggestions, then please pm either myself or Bert with details/links, to update any of the topics in this thread. Many thanks, Lisa Edited 18 July 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 8 November 2010 Share Posted 8 November 2010 (edited) Park and Ride Services The city centre is served by three council operated Park and Ride services, operating from different locations to the north/west/south-west of the city. Unfortunately, the service is only of use for Saturday afternoon games, as the last buses leave at about 7.00pm. If you don't want to walk all the way from the city centre, then the service that operates from Enderby stops near the the Leicester Royal Infirmary.Information, including times and prices, can be found here.
