Shopping is one of our favourite national pastimes and is adored by millions. But what if you fancy a change from your usual shopping haunts? Take a trip to Leeds, dubbed the Knightsbridge of the north, as it might just be the place you’ve been looking for.

We chose our favourite shopping locations in Leeds to give you a helping hand on your next visit:

The Corn Exchange

If you’re sick of the retail giants and want to find some independent stores to pick up something a little different, then the wonderful Grade I Listed Corn Exchange is ideal.
