There is a pay & display car park just to the rear of the pub, but it's not an easy way in through the one way system. The Satnav gods may be related to Loki, beware. Most try to get you to turn left into Granby St from London Rd. Its been a while since that was possible.
Come into Leicester along the A50 (J20) as far as the inner ring road (A594) and turn left where you see the big mirror finish cinema/shops right across the road. (Can't miss it) Your Santav may say turn right there just to see you suffer.
Carry on along the ring road, following signs for the station until on St Georges way (A594), just after the Mercedes dealership on the left, where you see the Ibis Hotel on your right, the tall blue building in front and the Leicester Mercury Building on the right, get into the right lane before the lights.
Then across those lights stay in the right lane, turn right at the next lights onto Charles St, then left into Northampton St, Right on Granby St, (where you may notice the pub on the left) Left on Dover St and left into the car park.
Walk out the opposite side to where you entered the car park, turn right and the pub is on the corner.
If you feel really rich, you could even use the station car park.
