About

St Leonard's sits immediately north of Exeter city centre around the medieval parish site that gives the area its name. The streets are a mix of Victorian terraces and later 20th-century housing, with local shops, small businesses and community facilities serving day-to-day needs. Public transport links run along the main roads into the city, and the area is used by people who work locally and those commuting to the centre. Small green patches and churchyards provide short stretches of open space between the housing.

A surviving round tower from the former St Leonard's church stands close to a narrow lane and is a reminder of the area's long history, its stonework visible from the surrounding streets. Local life centres on convenience shopping, corner cafés and a handful of pubs, while residents use community halls and sports spaces nearby. Street patterns reflect gradual expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries, producing short terraces and back lanes that characterise the neighbourhood today.
