Amenities
Highfields is bounded by London Road and Evington Road meaning that it has a large amount of amenities on its doorstep. Notably this includes the railway station, many Mosques (the biggest includes a leisure centre within its grounds), Churches, Temples, a modern health centre, nurseries, schools, local shops, restaurants, community centres and banks. The area also has a public library which is located on Melbourne Road.
Highfield Street is particularly notable for having a high concentration of restaurants in a relatively small area. These restaurants include the Taj Mahal which is the oldest Indian Restaurant in Leicester.
