Leicester Urban Area

The Leicester Urban Area or Leicester Built Up Area is an urban agglomeration centered on the City of Leicester in the English Midlands. With a population of 508,916 at the time of the 2011 census, the Built Up Area is the eleventh largest in England and thirteenth largest in Great Britain. It comprises Leicester itself and several outlying suburbs, towns and villages which are all situated in close proximity to the city.

Notes:

  • The ONS's definition of "Leicester" in the 2001 census excluded the suburb of Beaumont Leys, which was counted separately, and amalgamated several surrounding towns and villages. Its boundaries and population were not the same as that of the Leicester UA, which had a separate population of 279,921 at the 2001 Census.
