The Golden Mile
The Golden Mile is a name given to a stretch of the Belgrave Road in Leicester, United Kingdom, which is renowned for its Asian restaurants, shops and jewellery and has been described as “the closest that Britain comes to an Indian bazaar”. The range of Indian shops that the area accommodates is astounding and there isn’t anything a visitor will not find here. During the shopping festival, visitors are also facilitated with huge discounts and special offers. You can simply describe it as an Aladdin’s cave of Asian accessories!!! With its authentic restaurants, chaat houses and lassi bars, it also offers some of the finest Indian cuisine.
It is mistakenly believed that the area derives its name due to the abundance of jewelry shops here; however, the facts are quite different. The name was first used in the early times when a large number of traffic lights appeared along a short stretch of road (one mile to be exact). In those times, the phenomenon was quite unique; however, it is commonplace now. The seasonal lights are used in profusion imparting a golden glow to the area as far as the eye can see. These lights are specifically combined to celebrate winter festivals be they Western or Indian. The Diwali celebrations in Leicester are focused on this area and are the largest outside the sub-continent.
