A Leeds City Centre walking tour at sunset as we explore the great city of Leeds UK. We start at Leeds Train Station and explore the whole of Leeds City Centre including Leeds Corn Exchange and the Town Hall and the shops, bars, cafes and restaurants of Leeds City Centre.
We thought we would take our cameras to the fantastic city of Leeds, West Yorkshire. We arrived in the city centre at sunset and left our hotel to head to Leeds Railway Station to start this walking tour. At the railway station there was a choice to make! Do we head up to Leeds Town Hall and go that way, or should we head towards the corn exchange and go that way?
It was decided to go the Corn Exchange route so that takes us along Boar Lane and Duncan Street then round past the corn exchange and further into Leeds City Centre to check out the shops at night.
The sun was setting by now and so it was great to see Leeds at night. The lights in the shops were bright and there were still plenty of Leeds people around doing their shopping and hanging out in the pubs and bars.
Leeds is a city in the northern English county of Yorkshire. On the south bank of the River Aire, the Royal Armouries houses the national collection of arms and artillery. Across the river, the redeveloped industrial area around Call Lane is famed for bars and live music venues under converted railway arches. Leeds Kirkgate Market features hundreds of indoor and outdoor stalls.
Leeds City Centre is great at any time of year but I really enjoyed this November autumn walk here. It's getting close to Christmas, the sun sets around 4pm and so you get that Christmas vibe but without the shoppers making Leeds City Centre too busy!
Further along this Leeds walking tour we see Kirkgate, Briggate and Headrow which are all famous Leeds streets with great shops and fab bars. We also head up to the north of the city centre where we see Leeds Art Gallery and Leeds Central Library.
After a fantastic walk around Leeds City Centre I ended up at The Box bar on Infirmary Street where i finished this Leeds virtual tour and headed inside for a burger and one or two beers!
