Victoria Quarter

Victoria Quarter, located right in the heart of Leeds, is a shopping area topped by the largest stained glass roof in Europe. If you stop by, you will find more than 70 boutiques featuring the most exclusive brands. This area was once a mass of narrow yards, housing slaughter houses and butcher shops, and was then redeveloped in the early 1900s.

Shopping

Leeds has been dubbed United Kingdom's shopping Mecca of the north, and for good reason: the abundance of shopping centres is due to the compact city centre where you will find designer stores, high end brands, market stalls and independent boutiques. There is no need to bring your walking shoes, because everything is always around you, within a walking distance. Many of the shops are also housed in beautiful arcades and listed buildings which only enhance the whole shopping experience.
