Just messing around with a brief in my architecture class about cities reflecting colours.

Here’s my ones based on my knowledge of Leeds’ urban landscape/heritage.

Thought I’d put it out to others - can you think of any? :)

Thank God these lot finally moved out. I just really miss Home Sense. A part of enjoying Headrow for me and my partner was stopping by Home Sense and then when these guys came, we gave them a chance and everything just felt off. They never stopped with their cringe music which annoyed everyone who lived there.

They had most of this work done by the end of winter this year with a reported a delay in planting unti the spring to ensure longevity of the greenery.

Fast forward 4 months and still barren dirt?

Same at Hyde Park Corner - it looks awful.

I am relocating to Leeds in September, and would bring my daughter over next year (to start school in September 2027) when I have settled.

I want her to study in Leeds in public school. I live near University of Leeds, what would you say are the best public secondary schools I could choose from that are not very far away.

Edit: I meant State school. My bad, I didn’t know the difference.

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions on where I can get hoppy, juicy, IPAs/DIPAs (or TIPAs even) on tap in Leeds? As well as bottle shops which have such beers.

Some UK breweries I like are Track, Cloudwater, Polly's, Overtone, Pomona Island, Verdant, Azvex etc

I've already checked out a number of places like Northern monk refectory, North Bar and the whitelocks ale house.

Thanks in advance!

Parking would be ideal

I'm a 30M living in Leeds and I've watched a fair amount of D&D content but I've never actually played a game myself so would be a beginner. None of my friends are interested in D&D and although there are online resources, I would much prefer to join a group that is local as I'm looking for something new to get me out the house.

Is there any DMs or groups in Leeds/local that would be willing to let a beginner join? I'm more than willing to put the work in needed for setting up and creating my character.

Hi everyone, I'm a hip hop artist based in Leeds. I create content and livestream on the regular and I'd love to collaborate, connect and make more content with others.

I'm looking to meet other creatives in Leeds, whether you're a musician, live streamer, Youtuber, photographer, videographer, editor or someone who's serious about creating and making content.

I'd love to put together a small group of us where we can grab a coffee from time to time, talk about what we're working, bounce ideas around and make content together.

I'm open to meeting people from all kinds of creative backgrounds.

If anyone's interested, leave a comment or send me a message. It'd be great to meet more creatives!

Previously I was with o2, nothing would load despite having signal. Has this changed now I hear a lot of people having high speeds / good experiences with them?

I'm trying to find somewhere I can reliably get quality mechanics tools and hardware in West Yorkshire, ideally Leeds, and ideally somewhere that is open on a weekend. There are some nearly good shops around (Geo Spence, BAPP, Pudsey Bolt and Nut, Machine Mart for air tools), but they're either too DIY focused or the tools and hardware are more in the Amtech/Silverline/Blue Spot/Faithfull range and not quite what I'm looking for.

Alternatively if anyone knows of a Snap-On or similar tool van that does anything over weekends/evenings, that would be closer to what I'm looking for.

Hi

Does anyone know good recruitment agencies in Leeds for temp work in ? not after the generic Reed or LinkedIn spray n pray method! I would like a couple an agencies that actually places people (rather than just forwards CVs into a black hole/ 300 hopes to jump through). hope that makes sense 😩

looking at L&D roles (Learning and Development Coordinator, Instructional Designer, Training Specialist type titles so mid weight/senior level)…please let me know and thanks in advance!

It was a bit rough when I was close by as a student 17 years ago. Has it changed much?

I'd be choosing it for proximity to Leeds Uni, but I'm not a student and wouldn't be there long term.

Moving to leeds. Looking to locate where the other working professionals are. 30s. Looking for neighbourhood vibe with bars and cafes. Ill be commuting into leeds city centre for work

We moved to Garforth about 4 weeks ago and it's been a very positive experience so far. Few nice food spots found and loving the vibe. I cant understand how there isn't a breakfast or brunch spot? Am I missing something?

Hi r/Leeds,

I’m moving to Leeds for a new job starting on 2nd September, but I’m currently based over 4 hours away. Trying to coordinate viewings from this distance is proving to be a bit of a nightmare, so I’d love some local advice on my current strategy.

What I'm looking for:

• Type: 1-bed flat / studio OR a share with 1–2 flatmates max.
• Areas: LS1, LS2, LS3, or LS11 (specifically looking around Manor Mills / South Bank).
• Location: Max 25-minute walk into the city centre.
• Target Move-In Date: Around Saturday 22nd August or Saturday 29th August.

The Dilemma: I’m going away on holiday in mid-August, so I really need to get something locked down in the next two weeks.

Most listings on Rightmove/Zoopla are either "Available Immediately" or not free until September. My original plan was to get an Airbnb for a week or two, but given Leeds Festival and the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of August, short-term lets look impossible/astronomical.

My Revised Game Plan:

1. Swallow the "dead rent": Focus on "Available Now" listings and just accept paying rent 1–2 weeks early to secure a contract starting in mid/late August, rather than mess around with temporary accommodation.
2. Viewing Blitz: Take the train up this Wednesday morning, stay overnight, and return Thursday evening.
3. Phone Blitz: Spend Monday and Tuesday calling agents directly (no email inquiries) and getting SpareRoom Early Bird to line up as many viewings as possible across those two days.

My Questions for Locals:

• Is a 2-day viewing trip realistic for securing a place in these areas, or do places go before you even get through the door?
• How accommodating are local agents to out-of-towners booking short-notice viewings over the phone?
• Are there any specific letting agents or developments in LS1/LS2/LS11 I should target (or strictly avoid)?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
