A compact Leicestershire market town of around 37,000 people, Wigston has grown from two historic parishes into a single community in the Oadby and Wigston district, retaining its older character along the Wigston Magna streets at its core. Kilby marks the quiet rural edge to the south.
South Wigston, laid out as a planned Victorian suburb to the south, is among the town's most sought-after areas for school catchments, while Wigston itself draws families competing for primary and secondary places across the district. Leicester's mainline station, reachable in under ten minutes along the A5199, connects the town to Cross-Country services towards Birmingham and Nottingham.
