Leicester St Georges

Leicester St Georges Explore the St Georges area of Leicester, now known as the Cultural Quarter, with the St Georges App for iPhone and Android.

The St Georges area of Leicester was once a hive of industry, dominated by factories, workshops and warehouses. In the 1960s local industry began to decline and by the late 1990s much of the area had fallen in to disrepair. In the 2000s this decline was reversed as St Georges began a transformation in to Leicester's new Cultural Quarter and now it is home to exciting cultural venues, creative busi

nesses, restaurants and bars and city centre apartments. The Leicester St Georges App for iPhone and Android will help you explore the St Georges area's rich history through pictures, audio and video. Our collection of interactive guides are free to download and will put the past - and present - of Leicester's Cultural Quarter in the palm of your hand.
