Leeds, WYK Shopping Areas
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Shopping Areas in Leeds, WYK, England.
Located on The Headrow in the centre of Leeds, The Light is home to trendy restaurants, happening bars, hip shops and the state of the art VUE cinema. And the structure's modern architecture and inner covered courtyard means visitors can have a coffee in an outdoor-like setting, even when it's raining.
Boasting the largest stained glass roof in Europe, Victoria Quarter is both an architectural jewel and an ultra-hip shopping arcade. The century-old complex now houses more than 50 high-end, high street stores and open-air cafes, including Harvey Nichols, making it the premier shopping area of Leeds and indeed the north of England.
Shoppers looking for a one-of-a-kind gift or to shop in style, can do so surrounded by architectural grandeur at the Corn Exchange in Leeds. An 1860s Victorian Grade I listed building with a domed glass roof, the Corn Exchange features a restaurant and lounge, as well as a dozen or so independent boutiques.
Briggate
Considered the high street of Leed's, Briggate runs between The Headrow and Boar Lane in the city centre and is the home of the city's main shopping district. Shoppers will find a swanky Harvey Nichols department store and the Victoria Quarter, as well as dozens of storefronts - from M&S and H&M to Topshop and Zara.
