Aylestone North & Saffron Fields sits in the south-west of Leicester, made up mainly of residential streets radiating from Saffron Lane and Aylestone Road. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to mid-20th-century council estates and later infill.

A short industrial and business frontage along Saffron Lane provides local employment and services.
The area borders Aylestone Meadows, a long floodplain by the River Soar with public footpaths and informal sports pitches, and the canal towpath that links into the city network.
