St Martins Opened in the 1980s, Leicester City Council worked with developers on St Martin's Square.This partnership made sure that the centre was constructed using the original features and facades from the area's existing buidlings.Set within an historic area, and surrounded by lanes full of individual boutiques and craft shops, the result has been an upmarket shopping centre with a character all of its own.

It is located at the heart of Leicester's central shopping area between Humberstone Gate, Charles Street and Belgrave Gate.The centre includes more than 50 units on two levels.A proposed £40 million expansion would create additional shops and new leisure facilities at the Haymarket Shopping Centre.
