Leeds 6th May 2012


Leeds is a city and metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England with a population of 798,800 it is the 24th-most populous city in the European Union. The county sign for Leeds is an owl and hence many can be found in the city centre.


The Civic Quarter is the area at the north of the city centre, roughly north of the Headrow. It is home to the Leeds Magistrates and Crown Courts. Leeds Town Hall is a prominent landmark which was completed in 1858 and opened by Queen Victoria.





The Shopping Quarter is the area which extends south from the Headrow to Boar Lane. Many of city's largest shops are found here. The Corn Exchange is now home to many independent shops, as well as a nice central restaurant. Off Briggate are several of Leeds' famous shopping arcades, such as the Thornton Arcade and the Victoria Quarter.





 
I don’t remember Jane Austin writing Horror books: 


 The Cultural Quarter is situated in the east of the city centre and where the Royal Armouries Museum (opened in 1996 when the collection was transferred north from its previous location, the Tower of London) can be found.  The building, designed by architect Derek Walker, was built at a cost of £42.5 million and completed in two years, and has since become one of the city's major tourist attractions





The night life for us was centred near the river and train station. There are several gay bars all clustered together that provide a range of entertainment. We found one that in particular got our attention lol
