Area guide: Leeds

Leeds is a delightful city in the heart of Yorkshire, with the 4th largest student population in the UK and renowned for being the second largest legal centre outside of London. Further more its sporting prowess is exemplified by Headingly, the home of Yorkshire Cricket Club which historically produces pretty much anyone vaguely talented in the England Cricket Team. We must also remember Leeds United Football Club who once rode high in the Premiership during the glory years which welcomed the likes of Eric Cantona and Tony Yeboah. Sadly the team fell with an almighty bang in the years that followed, by sport in Leeds is certainly abundant.
