Leicester, England
Roundabout Central With A King Underneath
"We found a king in a car park, what have you done?"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a skeleton beneath a car park in the upper field, flanked by two roundabouts rampant, with the Space Centre's rocket rising behind in a sky of persistent grey drizzle. The motto beneath reads, in Latin nobody asked for, 'We Had Him The Whole Time'.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Came for the Richard III visitor centre, stayed because I got lost in the one-way system for four hours and missed my train home. The Highcross shopping centre is genuinely decent but nothing prepares you for how many roundabouts one city can fit into its ring road. Curry on Golden Mile was outstanding though, genuinely world class, so I'll forgive the car park king thing."— Barry Fenwick, Kettering
Property Listing
Nestled in the vibrant heart of the East Midlands, this thriving city offers unrivalled connectivity via an award-winning ring road system you'll come to know intimately whether you like it or not. Boasting a Premier League-winning football heritage, a genuine buried monarch, and one of the finest curry districts in the country, this is a city of hidden depths, quite literally six feet under a Sainsbury's car park.

Kettering — Both are the answer to 'wait, where exactly is that again?' on a British road atlas.
Supporting Evidence
The remains of King Richard III were discovered in 2012 under a Leicester City Council car park, exactly where local legend had vaguely suggested they might be.
