M1 Junction 21
Junction 21 on the M1 can be found at Enderby on the south-western edge of Leicester, beside Fosse Park, joining the motorway to the M69 and the A5460. From here it is 3.2 miles north to Junction 21a and 10.6 miles south to Junction 20. Leicester Forest East services are the nearest on-motorway stop, about 1.6 miles from the junction.
The city centre itself is 3.6 miles north-east of the junction. The next sizeable centre is Wigston, 3.9 miles east. There are 45 places to eat and drink, 11 pubs, 5 fuel stations, 2 EV charging points and 1 supermarket within two miles of the junction.
Junction 21 is where the M1 meets the M69, with the A5460 joining too — a busy interchange rather than a natural place to break a journey. If you do need to stop, InstaVolt is 0.3 miles off.
