Leicester Cathedral's slim stone spire on the left, the Victorian clocktower at the centre of the old market square, the silver-banded cylinder of the city's modernist landmark on the right, the rainbow-canopied stalls of the covered market filling the foreground, the city's medieval and twentieth-century halves caught together. Singles past 50 here often have careers tied to the universities, the hospitals, or the engineering trade, with grown kids in Birmingham or further south. However you got here, the East Midlands welcome is straightforward.
You don't need to know what you're after. Some members want a partner; others want a Bradgate Park walking friend or a museum companion. Both are honest, and people say so on their profile. Free to join, free to browse.
Leicester members tend to start at the Cathedral close or in Victoria Park. Abbey Park and the canal towpath give you a flat loop; the Cultural Quarter suits a slow afternoon. Oadby, Wigston, and Glen Parva keep their own pubs and cafés. Bradgate Park earns a Saturday once you've already met, and Rutland Water makes a slower day.
