The King Power Stadium is the home of Leicester City — the club that stunned football with its 2016 Premier League title. On match days and for the concerts and events it hosts, the ground near Leicester's city centre fills with fans, and getting there and away smoothly takes planning. This guide covers match days, events, getting there, and fixed-price transfers around Leicester.
Leicester City's home carries the glow of one of sport's greatest underdog stories, and match days bring a passionate crowd to this ground just south of the city centre. It's close enough to walk from the station and centre, but the surrounding streets and car parks get busy on matchdays and for the big concerts the stadium stages. A fixed-price taxi drops you near the ground and collects you after.

The King Power's near-city-centre location means Leicester's pubs, bars and restaurants are close by for before and after the match. A taxi makes moving between the ground, the city centre and home easy — especially handy for enjoying a matchday or concert with a few drinks, without worrying about driving or parking.
A trip to the King Power Stadium is a chance to see Leicester, a city with more to offer than many realise, and it's worth building that into your visit. Leicester made global headlines twice in recent years — first with the discovery of Richard III's remains beneath a car park, now commemorated at the excellent King Richard III visitor centre near the cathedral where he's reinterred, and then with Leicester City's astonishing 2016 Premier League title. The city has a rich, diverse culture, celebrated in one of the UK's largest Diwali celebrations outside India along the Golden Mile, and a vibrant food scene reflecting its communities. The historic centre, the Guildhall, the New Walk Museum and the National Space Centre give visitors plenty to explore. For match-goers, the compact city means the ground, the station and the centre's pubs and restaurants are all close together, easy to combine into a full day. A fixed-price taxi helps you move between them, and reaches the ground door-to-door on busy matchdays without the parking struggle. For away fans and visitors travelling in via East Midlands or Birmingham airports, or the well-connected station, having reliable transport makes exploring the city around the match straightforward and enjoyable.
