  Directions

From Leicester City Centre:

Take the A5199 south from the City Centre. It is signposted to Wigston and Northampton. Continue for about 5 miles until you reach a large roundabout by a MacDonalds restaurant. Go straight on. You are now on Bull Head Street. The Kings Centre is on your left, just after the Kwik-Fit garage.

From the M1/M69 motorway junction:

Take the A563 Outer Ring Road towards Leicester South & East. Continue for about 2½ miles until you reach a roundabout. Take the fourth exit, Stonesby Avenue, signposted to Wigston. Continue for about 1½ miles until you reach a T-junction with a mini-roundabout in the centre of Wigston. Turn left onto Leicester Road. Follow the road round to the right by the petrol station and you will come to a large roundabout by MacDonalds. Take the third exit, which is Bull Head Street. The Kings Centre is on your left just after the Kwik-Fit garage.

From Northampton:

Take the A5199 towards Leicester. As you come into Wigston there is a roundabout next to a cemetry. Go straight on and after coming down a hill you reach a set of traffic lights at a crossroads with a Texaco petrol station opposite on the left. Go straight on and this brings you onto Bull Head Street. The Kings Centre is on the right opposite Aldi.
