The residence is located in a central location in the vibrant city of Leeds, just a 10-minute walk from the busy city centre and a short 10-15 minute walk to the city’s main higher educational establishments. The position of the residence means you will never be far from the diverse and exciting social scene the city has to offer.
If you’re looking to eat out, or aren’t in the mood to cook there are absolutely loads of fabulous restaurants available locally. TGI Friday’s and a Chinese restaurant are a short walk away, and there is also a local pub called The Fox and Newt which does great food and hosts live bands every week. The recently developed Waterfront is now a dining quarter called Granary Wharf, and you absolutely can’t miss out on the delights of Trinity Kitchen and its take on the classic food court and street food vibe.
Leeds not only has the usual big name bars and nightclubs found in most big cities, but also some locally owned independent bars and clubs. Call Lane and Albion Street are extremely popular with students and have a range of bars to enjoy throughout the week. Some favourites include Revolution, Norman Bar, Jake’s Bar, Tiger Tiger and The Backroom Leeds.
To get a snippet of Leeds’ history, visit The Hyde Park Picture House; Leeds’ purpose-built 101-year-old cinema. It’s the only gas-lit cinema remaining in the UK and is bursting full of history inside. It’s just 20-minutes away by bus and it’s so quirky and such a different way to enjoy a film that you’ll be sure to love it.
