About

Leeds City Centre sits at the heart of the city on a grid of streets radiating from Briggate and The Headrow. Shopping centres and arcades meet traditional retail: Trinity Leeds, Victoria Quarter and County Arcade connect with pedestrianised Briggate. The Victorian Corn Exchange, a circular, listed building, stands close to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and is surrounded by independent shops and cafes. Nearby Kirkgate Market occupies a large indoor site with dozens of stalls and long trading history, one of the biggest covered markets in Europe.
The city centre is also a transport and civic hub. Leeds railway station opens onto City Square; bus and coach terminals are within walking distance, making the centre a common arrival point. Public spaces include Millennium Square and the area around Leeds Town Hall, used for events and gatherings. After dark sections around Call Lane host bars and venues. Offices, courts and university buildings cluster within walking distance, so the centre sees a mix of shoppers, workers and students throughout the day.
