A£19 million regeneration project transformed Leicester's city centre. Politically, the city centre is split between the Leicester City Council wards of Abbey and Castle. The city centre incorporates most of Leicester's shopping, with the Highcross and the Haymarket Shopping Centre as well as the 'Old Town' around Leicester Cathedral, Leicester Market and the Magazine Gateway. In a similar way, the Leicester Royal Infirmary precinct, the New Walk business district ( Southfields), the Welford Road Stadium of Leicester Tigers' RUFC and the King Power Stadium of Premier League Leicester City to the south, and the Golden Mile to the north could also be deemed to be extensions to the central core. Its inner core is roughly delineated by the A594, Leicester's inner ring road, although the various central campuses of the University of Leicester, De Monfort University and Leicester College are adjacent to the inner ring road and could be considered to be a continuation of the City centre. Leicester City Centre is Leicester's historical commercial, cultural and transport hub and is home to its central business district.
