Leeds is a city that has transformed it's self from being a indusrtial graveyard to it's current status as an up and coming financial centre, at the heart of this boom was the influx of retail mainly fashion (Harvey Nichols) and nightlife which gave it the rather dubious title of the 'London of the North' which living there all my life I can safely say London it aint, but it has great character and some good people too, and it's creative industry is growing up a lot more young progressive agencies, beating off the strong hold that companies like Poulters used to have.

and from my experience the decent designers that hail from oop north tend to have a less exaggerated sense of self-importance than most others...
damn, im gonna get nailed for that!
sorry in advance!

Leeds has a good attitude, i was brought up in Harewood [inbetween Leeds + Harrogate] and think the people in Yorkshire just generally have a good outlook on life. London is good, but i [personally] don't feel as though i have succeeded in my work until i have made it in Leeds/The North of England.

It's not all bad, it's a compact little city with a centralised shopping area but I often feel with the amount of hype, it should offer so much more than a load of trendy overpriced bars and mediocre city centre flats for £160k!

It's the self styled London of the North (not counting Manchester of course).
There's a lot of development going on in Leeds but it's really an exercise in hype more than anything.
