Leeds

Over the last ten years, Leeds has transformed from a northern industrial city to one of the most vibrant and successful cities in the country, with thriving finance, business service and retail sectors.

Leeds' colourful past is embraced by the invigorating and dynamic future vision for the city. Rapid industrial growth during the nineteenth century transformed a successful town into a thriving city. Leeds Town Hall, one of the finest civic buildings in Britain, the Grand Theatre, St Paul's House, elegant arcades and numerous other examples of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian architecture are monuments to the city's sustained prosperity. Much of the City's heritage has recently been lovingly restored and preserved as witnessed by the attractive renovations of the Corn Exchange, Victoria Quarter, County Arcade and Leeds Market Buildings. Alongside the restoration and preservation of the Leeds' heritage exciting and flourishing new developments such as pedestrian precincts, the Playhouse Theatre and superb new office accommodation have been built. In conjunction with the new developments, the Leeds Waterfront has exploded into life with a mixture of business and housing supported by shops, restaurants and hotels; all of which epitomise the City's growing status as a European centre.
