A day out in Leeds , a city I am sorry to say I have only ever visited for work purposes, What I found yesterday is a magnificent city steeped in industrial heritage and massive regeneration for the modern age, (on the down side late afternoon the city becomes the capital of Stag/Hen does with all the issues those sorts of gathering bring), that said well done to Leeds for reinventing itself and getting money into the local economy

They remind me of the old Lambananas we used to have dotted around Liverpool...

Having just spent three years studying in Leeds, I totally believe it is one of the UK's most underrated cities! It is culturally rich, diverse and vibrant with, as you say, a proud industrial heritage.

Leeds may not have the gothic charm of York or appear the innovative hub that the likes of Manchester are said to be becoming, but it is a wonderful city located within a county which I have found the locals to genuinely love. This for sure rubs off on the students, however transient we might appear, and I am extremely pleased to have spent so much time there away from my (significantly flatter) home in Suffolk.

Thanks for sharing.
