Still very much enjoying a village feel, the area centred around Main Street enjoys conservation status and has a village green with a children’s play area and still hosts the annual village fete. There are also 2 main shopping areas, a library and Village Hall and schooling for children of all ages.<br/> Places of worship include a Baptist chapel on the edge of the village green, dating back to the 1800’s. The Parish Church of St Denys which is thought to date back in part some 800 years and the Masjid Umar Mosque which opened in 2000. <br/>Leisure facilities include; the Evington Leisure Centre, The Arboretum, Evington Park, 44 acres of parkland with sports pitches and tennis courts and The Leicestershire Golf Club. The area remains very popular today with local buyers and those from further afields due in part to its proximity to the city centre, its professional quarters, the mainline railway station (approx. 1 hour from London St.Pancras) and the road links.<br/><br/>
