Headingley

Headingley is one of the most vibrant and well-known neighbourhoods in Leeds, located just a couple of miles north of the city centre.

Once a rural village, it grew into a popular suburb during the Victorian expansion of Leeds and today is known for its lively atmosphere, historic streets and strong sporting heritage.  Headingley Stadium has helped put the area on the international map, hosting world-class cricket and rugby events, while the surrounding streets are filled with independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.

With large student populations from nearby universities, plenty of green spaces such as Beckett Park, and excellent transport links into the city, Headingley offers a unique mix of work, relaxation and entertainment.
