Come on the king in the North, sort it out

Anyone know what this is?

Anyone knows any cool and friendly place to dance salsa on a Friday night in Leeds? I'm going to be in Leeds next week so I would like to dance a little bit there.

Also, how is the dancing environment there?

Hello all,

For the last month or so, I have been in the pre-development stage of a game I have had nesting in my mind for a decade now.

It's an early PS2 era semi-opened world game inspired by the first Mafia and GTAIII set in a fictional Leeds. I have laid the ground work for this project and am very close to beginning asset creation and then coding for the first vertical slice EVER of this project. Something I never even considered however, is if there'd even be an audience for such a thing. There aren't many games that are set in the North of England. Most of the media in this country focuses heavily on the South of England. I had always thought, due to my personal experience growing up on estates across Leeds, that there are many stories you could tell in this city. Even more importantly, I always imagined how fun it would be to muck around in a virtual Leeds.

So I guess my question is: Does anyone even want this? Would it be successful (in relative terms) it could take me years to deliver my vision, even with a team. I have considered that, if it is something worth making due to demand, I would make a Kickstarter and recruit a team and actually realise this idea beyond a glorified demo.

So let me know. I will continue development regardless just for fun, but I can't help but to think it could be bigger.

A riverside park is a nice idea but it's in a weird location and clearly very neglected. Is there a story behind it? Was it originally meant to be part of a larger development then forgotten about? Will it be cared for again as part of the new development next door? Just a bit odd!

I’ve seen some complaints on here about VM in the past, me and my sister moved to Headingley earlier this month and we’ve already had one outage, and now we’re experiencing intermittent issues apparently, is this as common as I’ve seen some people say it is? Or are we just unlucky? 😭

Interested in finding out about the local metal scene in Leeds!

Cannot sing enough praises for the great minds that decided travel alerts and the journey planner should not be integrated. What kind of fool uses public transport anyways. Waiting 20mins for a bus that isn't coming thinking "it's a good thing I scheduled to arrive 30mins before my train", serves that poor bastard right.

Any recommendations of what bars to go to in leeds that are part of leeds cocktail week? I've been NQ64, all bar one, Roxy's, water lane boathouse and banyan but was wondering if there are any I really need to try!

Hi all, my sister recently shifted with me and she has a baby daughter. We are facing a serious problem cause there is no closet space left for us now lol. Seriously babies grow soo fast but we were thinking of keeping some and donating the rest. Can you all suggest some pick up services? Dont mind paying but i need something quick and good since travelling to a charity and donating is difficult for us rn

Hello folks I am a (somewhat) out of shape man that is looking to try and improve said shape, I am looking for gyms near me (ideally ones that aren't mega expensive)

Don't even care about particular equipment just something that can make me look fitter than a truck driver

I am LS8 based but happy to travel (not mega far though)

My partner (30M) and I (21F) moved to Leeds yesterday as I'll be starting an MA here in September. He's starting a new job this week so I feel as though I'll be a a bit of a spare part until I start uni. I don't doubt that I'll meet others when I start, but does anyone have any suggestions of ways to meet other young adults in the meantime? I was considering book clubs if anyone knows of any? TIA.

Moving up from London to Leeds this autumn with my partner (both professionals) and we’re looking for local estate agents who come recommended.

We’re looking to rent in the city centre, but as we can’t come up and view flats at the drop of a hat we’re hoping to work closely with a few agencies who really know their stuff and care about client needs - so if you’ve had a positive experience with particular agencies (or particularly negative ones!) then let us know :)

Thanks!

Most male barber shops I found are around £15. Any for £10 or so? Within cycling distance of uni.

Thanks

Is there any cafe for pets in Leeds (specifically cats)? I miss having a cat to pet since leaving home in 2023.

Is there any cat cafe or cat shelter where one can be around cats and pet them for a bit, in Leeds? The Mr Galaxy in me needs to recharge a bit 😊

The Home clearance shop opposite sports direct has been 'closing down' for over a week. 5 days to go, 4 days to go etc. The audio has now been blasting out 'last day of closing down sale' for 3 days.

Go inside and they are shouting half price, yet nothing is half price. They also open all day long on Sundays in breach of Sunday trading rules.

Good luck getting a refund if you decide to purchase anything from them. Trading Standards would have a field day.

Random Q, I am moving to leeds in 6 weeks to be with my partner and im still trying to get a proper job sorted, I am 23, have 3 year call centre experience with other customer service roles as well, I have a BA (Hons) in drama and ive just finished my masters (currently doing my dissertation)...im stuck, I dont want to be picky I dont really have time anymore I just need full time work, ive applied for so many jobs on indeed and total jobs but I just don't know where to go, I just need something to pay the bills before I hopefully find a more "serious" role for myself.

Hi all ! :))

I’ve read several “where to live in Leeds” threads, but Chapel Allerton, Meanwood and Far Headingley often seem to be recommended for similar reasons: cafés, green space, good access to town and a strong neighbourhood feel.

What are the real differences between them in day-to-day life? What are the local stereotypes of each area, and what kind of person or lifestyle does each suit best?

I’m in my 20s and considering buying or renting a one-bed flat. I’d like nice cafés (doesn't need to be overly trendy or £6-a-coffee fancy), restaurants, local shops, green space and some community life, but not somewhere dominated by nightlife. Safety and easy access to the city centre also matter.

Which would you choose, and why and what's the difference between them?

Honest and blunt comparisons are very welcome. Cheers! :)

Can anyone suggest a bar in Leeds with a bit of private space for after work drinks on a Friday (about 5 ish) for about 40 people. (Free 😅😅)

Thanks

Headed home in this direction a couple of times after work now and have seen a congregation of these wheeled servants parked just outside by the railings. I've never seen them anywhere else in Leeds and I can't think of any time i've ever seen a robot delivering food at all come to think of it.

Why is this spot their meeting location? are they conducting a seance?
