About

Glenfield is a village and civil parish in the Blaby district of Leicestershire, immediately west of Leicester city. The area mixes residential streets, local shops and community facilities clustered along Groby Road and nearby streets. Regular bus services link Glenfield with Leicester and neighbouring villages, and footpaths connect the settlement to surrounding fields. Local groups and parish activities centre on the village hall and small retail parade, giving residents access to everyday services without travelling into the city for routine needs.

Glenfield is best known locally for Glenfield Hospital on Groby Road, home to the Leicester Heart Centre and the county’s specialist cardiac services. The hospital brings patients and staff from across the region and has shaped the area’s character. Parks and stretches of open land around the parish offer walking routes that meet the urban edge, and community sports and clubs use pitches and halls distributed through the village for matches and events.
