About Leeds

Leeds is Yorkshire's shopping-and-nightlife capital, built on Victorian wool wealth and never short of confidence: ornate arcades and converted canalside mills now hold cocktail bars, a genuinely strong food scene and one of England's busiest live-music circuits. It feels commercial and studenty rather than quaint, with cranes on the skyline marking near-constant redevelopment.
