Oadby Uplands sits on the higher ground within the borough of Oadby and Wigston in Leicestershire, close to the city of Leicester. Predominantly residential, it is characterised by leafy streets, a mix of Victorian and mid-20th-century housing and pockets of open space that provide pleasant views over the surrounding plain; many residents commute into Leicester or work locally in retail and services.
There’s a quietly suburban, community-focused feel, with local shops, schools and active residents’ groups. The ward reflects Oadby’s evolution from a rural village into a suburban town during the 19th and 20th centuries, so alongside its modern amenities you’ll still find hints of older street patterns and period architecture that speak to its history.
