It was my very first visit to CitySquareLeads, and honestly, it couldn’t have gone any better. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how warm and welcoming everything felt. The vibe was really positive — calm, friendly, and full of energy at the same time. You can tell right away that this place is managed by people who genuinely care about what they do. The staff were amazing! Everyone I met was polite, kind, and ready to help. They explained everything clearly and treated me with so much respect. As someone visiting for the first time, that made a huge difference. I felt comfortable right away, and it gave me the confidence to explore and ask questions without hesitation. Their professionalism and genuine friendliness really stood out to me. Another thing that truly caught my attention was the history around this place. There’s a lot to see — beautiful old buildings, stunning architecture, and that unique historical charm that gives the area its special character. It felt like I was walking through a story, where the past and present blend perfectly. I loved how the modern atmosphere still carries a deep sense of heritage. Overall, my first experience here was fantastic. CitySquareLeads has a perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, and history. It’s the kind of place you remember long after you leave. I left feeling happy, inspired, and excited to return. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting for the first time — you’ll definitely enjoy the people, the energy, and the beautiful historical surroundings that make this place so special!
A very busy area Crammed with stunning architecture from the likes of: W. Curtis Green & W H Hamlyn both designed the Queens Hotel here in Leeds. The stunning Old Post Office now houses trendy bars & restaurants. Designed by architect Sir Henry Tanner in 1896 during the reign of Queen Victoria built on the site of the old cloth hall. The area is rich in history. A fabulous newish building in the area is city square house which is marketed as tomorrow’s office. Designed by architects Todd.
Great place to visit especially if it’s your first time in Leeds. The place was amazing located at the heart of the city. It is very close to the train station; lots hotels, restaurants, bars, eateries, etc where all surrounds the place. When weather is good; people use to come around to enjoy fresh air and good sunshine. My kids love the place as well.
First time to Leeds here to visit lots of pubs and enjoy seeing a new city. Here mainly for the T20 cricket at Headingley on Fri 5/06/24. I think the city is awesome. We walked from the train station to very close to the Stadium where we had booked a hotel for the night. Less said about the Hotel, the better. It was a great couple of days, everywhere we went we relieved a warm welcome and everyone was so helpful. Pubs, cafes, and stadium staff were all brilliant. Any pubs you see in this review are really worth a visit so I won't name them Al as I have done individual reviews for them
Great Italian piazza inspired City Square with lots of beautiful statues , plenty of free benches to sit and have your lunch or read a book , if you're not scared of huge bands of pigeons that's is. Restaurant bar and grill is a lovely place to sit in summer, pricey but that's what you get for the city centre. Perfect place to wait for your next train or to meet up with friend's.
