About 140 New Walk

140 New Walk Leicester gives students a private, fully furnished studio with no shared bedrooms or bathrooms. The building suits students who prefer to cook on their own schedule, study without noise from housemates, and come home to a space that belongs entirely to them. It also works well for postgraduate students who need longer blocks of uninterrupted focus time.

The building has a communal side too, a common room, a shared kitchen for social cooking, and a study room with proper quiet, so you are not sealed off from other students if you want company. Management staff are on-site, which means maintenance requests and questions get addressed quickly rather than going through a slow email chain.

Living in Leicester

New Walk is a pedestrianised, tree-lined boulevard that runs from the city centre down toward the university quarter. It is one of the quieter corners of central Leicester, not through traffic, wide pavements, and a stretch of Victoria Park at the southern end. Living here means you are central without being in the thick of the noise.

For groceries, a Tesco Express sits on Bedford St South and a Sainsbury's Local is on Granby St, both are short walks from the building. Leicester Railway Station is accessible on foot and connects you to Nottingham, Birmingham, and London for weekend travel or visits home. Local buses run from Saxby Street (Stand 1) and De Montfort Hall (Stop HU), covering most parts of the city.

Restaurants and cafes within easy reach include Khaleej Mandi House and Konak Restaurant for sit-down meals, and Soft Touch Arts Cafe and Chocoberry for coffee and lighter bites. The Marquis Wellington pub is a short walk away. PureGym on Walnut Street handles gym access, and the 73 Princess Road East facility is also nearby.

De Montfort Square and Victoria Park are both within walking distance, useful for outdoor study sessions, a run, or simply getting away from a screen. For shopping, St Martins Square and the Highcross Leicester centre cover both daily needs and larger retail.
