Aylestone is a suburb of Leicester, England at grid reference SK572008. It is south-west of the city centre, but to the east of the River Soar. It was formerly a separate village, but the growth of the city since The Leicester Extension Act of 1891 incorporated Aylestone into the Borough of Leicester has meant that it is now part of the suburban area, largely surrounded Victorian housing close to the city centre and by 20th-century housing towards the Aylestone Village Conservation Area. This area, around the parish church, retains much of the former village character and is referred to as 'the village' or 'old Aylestone' by local residents. The parish church of St Andrew dates mostly from the 13th century. The electoral ward of Aylestone covers Aylestone Village, the Gilmorton Estate, the south and west of Aylestone Park and the south west side of Saffron Lane . The ward borders Freemen and Eyres Monsell wards and is in the parliamentary constituency of Leicester South. Aylestone had a population of 11,151 as of the 2011 census. The ward has two elected councillors: Councillor Adam Clarke and Councillor Nigel Porter .
