    City Centre, Shopping Quarter

    It puzzles me that people visit churches when on holiday in order to soak up the local culture of a…read moreplace, but do not check out the local examples in their home city. Whatever your degree of religious interest, the beauty hiding within Leeds Parish Church is something that needs to be experienced. The main section of the church is breathtakingly aesthetic. When I recently visited it, the sun was dramatically pouring through the beautiful stained glass windows, casting playfully colourful patterns on the stone floor. The intricately carved wooden seating and organ were perfectly framed in the gravitas of the room. Leading off from the main room, is The Lady Chapel. It is much smaller, creating a more intimate space. An elaborate altar sits at the head of the room, a lovely statue to focus on. The softness of the windows contrasts with the jagged edges of the furniture to spectacular effect. The website is updated regularly, providing information on times of services, performances by the choir and other music events. The ethereal beauty of the place evokes such peacefulness, you can't help but feel calm and collected. A wonderful place to contemplate, life, love, the universe, or just what to have for lunch.

    As far as churches go, this is the best one I have seen in Leeds, albeit usually as I am leaving…read moreLeeds trying to find the M1. Sadly a massive main road reaches nearly its edge and the way the city centre has developed, there isn't much else around it. If I was to redesign Leeds the city would shift sideways a bit so that this beautiful building was more a central feature. It beats the cathedral in terms of beauty and magnificence inside and out. I love the curling gothic details on each spire and the stain glass windows. It is definitely worth walking down this way just for the sake of checking it out sometime.

    I've been to this Hotel for high tea twice, and both times have been delicious. They have a…read moreseparate dining room with one wall which is a window/patio, which they open if the weather is nice. They also have a wide variety of tea, and have coffee as well if you'd prefer. The high tea consists of scones with cream and jam, mousse, various desserts including brownies, lemon squares, mini victorian cakes, and macarons, and 2-3 varieties of finger sandwiches. The staff are very considerate and kind, and the whole experience is lovely. The price is reasonable, especially for high tea. I would probably visit again for another tea celebration!

    Recently we hired a room and ordered afternoon tea for 17 of us. Booking the room was easy enough…read morethey just wanted the group to preorder and pay for the food. Ordering the food was a little trickier but once you could finally get to speak to the person who deals with it then it was fine. This took three tries of calling but the staff were friendly so it wasn't too bad. The room they gave was plenty big enough and the doors opened onto the beautifully kept outside area. They had set two tables up for us to eat. There was plenty of food and they catered for allergies though they could make little signs for the food that's free from, just so there's no confusion and it isn't eaten by others mistakenly. The quality of the food was ok and I'm not sure the cakes were made in house, they looked like they were brought in, butthen again you're only paying £7.50.
