What makes Leeds a great place to live?

Leeds is the UK’s third largest city, with a population of 724,000, yet has a compact, easily walkable city centre, and is just a few miles to the beautiful countryside of Yorkshire, with its inspiring moorlands and stunning coastlines.

The city offers an architectural mix of old and new, with stylish modern flats sitting comfortably alongside red-brick terraces and elegant Victorian homes. And according to English Heritage there are more listed buildings than in any English city outside London!

A great sporting heritage is built around world-famous stadiums like Headingley and Elland Road. The cultural offer is just as strong, and Leeds is the only English city outside London with its own repertory theatre, opera house and ballet companies.

Located at the heart of the UK, halfway between London and Edinburgh, it’s well connected to the motorway network and has the busiest train station outside London. Leeds Bradford International Airport offers connections worldwide.
