West Knighton is an area bounded by Knighton Fields Road East to the North, Welford Road to the East, the London-bound railway line to the West and Leicester City boundary to the South (a line just South of Asquith Way) in Leicestershire. It was mostly constructed during the 1950s and contains a variety of semi-detached and detached housing, council allotments and two secondary schools (Lancaster School and Sir Jonathan North Community College).
