Leeds is located in the north of England and is served by direct trains from London. It is one of the country's largest towns and has undergone a substantial regeneration in recent years. Leeds is home to some upmarket stores, many of which are located in the Victoria Quarter, and historic buildings, such as the Queens Hotel. The city center is quite compact and can be easily seen on foot. The following walk is one possible itinerary that takes in many of the main sights and last around 60 to 90 minutes without stops.
Leeds Railway Station to Queens Hotel to City Square
A good starting point for the tour is Leeds Railway Station, which is also the location of a tourist information bureau. From the main entrance, take a left and walk towards City Square where the imposing Queens Hotel is an unmistakable landmark. Step inside the lobby to enjoy the true ambience and history of the hotel, which has recently undergone a major renovation. This Queens Hotel, which opened in 1937, replaced an earlier incarnation that had stood on the same site since 1863.
Beyond the Queens Hotel, City Square is also home to the former Majestic Cinema. The building, which opened in 1922, now stands forlornly empty, awaiting a new owner, but it once offered its patrons the chance to watch the biggest films of the day in a luxury setting, accompanied by the sounds of its very own Majestic Symphony Orchestra.
