Leeds is a vibrant, diverse city, with a thriving economy and all the culture, shopping and entertainment you would expect from a major centre. It’s well connected too, with excellent road and rail links to the rest of the UK and Leeds Bradford International Airport close by.

There’s a good choice of affordable places to live around the city, a bus or bike ride away from wherever you need to be. You’re never far from nature and open space either, as Leeds is one of the greenest cities in the country and on the doorstep of the Dales.
