Welcome to the capital of the North
Not for nothing did Leeds city centre become a new entry in 2019’s Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide. The arrival of television’s Channel 4 that year (to become new neighbours to Yorkshire Television) and the predicted boom in the creative industries was only one of the reasons the Sunday Times chose Leeds city centre. But their summary of its appeal also highlights that it has become a shopping, cultural and gastronomic destination, too.
As the UK’s fourth largest city, Leeds is considered the nation’s most successful retailing, business, financial and legal hub outside of London. With more than two million residents in greater Leeds and over 119,000 companies generating 5% of England’s total economic output, this city is one of Europe’s fastest growing places.
Leeds city centre has been named one of the UK's best places to live by The Sunday Times.
The fourth largest urban and metropolitan area in the UK
A truly wonderful city
What’s truly wonderful about Leeds though is that arts and culture, as well as entertainment, sport and leisure, all feature up front and centre, in the city’s life.
Where else could you enjoy attractions like:
- First class football, rugby union, rugby league and cricket
- Museums such as the Royal Armouries, the UK’s national collection of weaponry and armour
- Europe’s largest indoor market, Kirkgate, with 800 stalls
- The UK’s oldest West Indian Carnival alongside Leeds International Film Festival, Leeds Digital Festival, Light Night and many more such events
- A virtually unrivalled selection of restaurants covering every international cuisine, from good burger joints to Michelin star dining
- A well-deserved reputation as the real ale and craft beer capital of the UK
- Enough coffee shops, cafes, bars, bistros, pubs, clubs and venues to ensure you’ll never get bored
And when you’re ready to relax
However, if you prefer to spend your leisure time in a more leisurely fashion and love country and outdoor pursuits like hiking, cycling or horse riding, Leeds is perfectly located.
It has three national parks close by, including the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. It’s also close to four areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which range from the Forest of Bowland and Nidderdale to the Howardian Hills and the Lincolnshire Wolds.
