As a city supporter, the last season can only be described as momentous, but unfortunately I didn’t get here until 2 weeks after celebrations.
A recent check of the Kingpower website shows that there are stadium tours on (maybe) on 2 Sunday’s a month.
Again I miss out because I am not here later in the month.
Getting to see the stadium and appreciate the clubs history is one of the most frustrating things I have ever tried.
Surely as the Premier league side there could be better arrangements for supporters to have a look and appreciate the club and its ground.

Parking I would recommend freemans common industrial estate, although you can get caught for some time in the traffic, but the fees do go to charity.
The same pubs are a short walk from here.
If your shopping in the Highcross (definitely worth a visit)head across jubilee square (next to Leicester cathedral and the site of Richard the III grave) and round the holiday inn to the left, walk past castle park (site of the first British parliament) and join the canal by the bridge where Richard the III was dismounted on the way to the battle of Bosworth.It is a straight and pleasent walk to the King power (20 minutes)
