Covering: Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, Coalville and the rest of the LE postcode area.
The local landmark: Leicester Cathedral, resting place of Richard III, and the rocket tower of the National Space Centre both stand close to the city centre.
Students: The University of Leicester and De Montfort University sit either side of the city centre, with Loughborough University's large single-site campus to the north.
On the ground: Red-brick Victorian terraces dominate inner Leicester, with dense student lets around both city campuses and tighter market-town streets elsewhere. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Student traffic to three big universities runs one way each September while new graduates head down the M1 to first jobs in London.
While you wait for the van: The remains of Richard III were found under a Leicester council car park in 2012 and reburied in the cathedral three years later.
