Welcome to Leeds; a great northern powerhouse of a city that has reinvented itself from an industrial center of wool, textiles and coal to one of the country's biggest financial and commercial cities outside of London. Leeds is famous for its beautiful Victorian arcades, its magnificent architectural landmarks, its eclectic mix of shops and bars and its sporting venues. But scrape its bare bones and you will find it is a city rich in history, heritage and culture with a plethora of hidden places and talents.

Can you really sit in Her Majesty's seat, catch a Dutch water taxi, go otter spotting in the center of town or get married on a tiny island in the city?

Leeds offers so much to locals and visitors alike and you can discover the answers to these questions and much, much more in this guide to 111 places in the great city of Leeds.
