Forming part of The Borough of Oadby & Wigston, South Wigston lies west of Wigston Magna and south of Leicester City Centre. The southern part of the town is made up mainly of Victorian terraced homes standing at both sides of the main thoroughfare. Granted conservation area Status in 1989, Blaby Road has an impressive array of shops with The South Leicestershire College and stores such as Lidle, Tesco and Wickes recently relocating to the town. The northern part of the town is dominated by The Fairfield Estate which was built in the early 1960’s and benefits from open spaces, a primary school and its own parade of shops and a public house.
