The Hub of the North
Leeds is a thriving city and one of the most bustling cities in North UK. The city is well known for its vibrant nightlife, stylish shopping and decadent dining whilst being a central hub for businesses, students and visitors. There is plenty to do while visiting Leeds and Leeds Uncut has compiled the definitive guide to prepare you for your visit.
First of all plan your trip wisely are there are so many places to visit you need to be sure you have enough time to fit them all in starting with Leeds most envied shopping experience. The city is filled with character and style bursting from The Corn Exchange and Victoria Quarter offering visitor’s a unique shopping trip. Victoria Quarter is home to a number of designer and high street shops such as Harvey Nichols, Karen Millen and Reiss whilst the Corn Exchange boasts unique boutiques and architecture dating back to 1864.
If you prefer to relax and unwind then you will not be disappointed by the vast selection of fine restaurants and bars from Anthony’s finest Italian dishes to classic cuisine from Brasserie 44. Drinking in Leeds is a must with a cosmopolitan scene from the likes of Mint Bar, Normans, Chilli White and Oracle. If you prefer a quiet drink by the river then opt for Calls Landing and soak in the sunrays on their beautiful terrace.
Whilst recovering from the night before, there are plenty of daytime activities and I would highly recommend a trip to Kirkstall Abbey; A grade I listed building and a scheduled ancient monument. Alternatively, Royal Armouries is a must see and free museum which displays, war, hunting and oriental weaponry and great for the kids.
