Bridie M.

I am really quite pleased with the lovely new shopping centre that has eventually opened in Leeds. It seems to have taken forever to be completed but am confident it was worth the wait. In my view the place is nicely designed and has a good mix of all the stores a girl needs and a generous sprinkling of some of the higher end "posh" stores. Quite a few of my favourite restaurants and some snazzy looking bars- must have an evening out there soon) Leeds is once again booming, exciting and really feels like it has regained it's sparkle and beating heart back....

Ok, so Trinity has a couple of small issues. It's not easy to navigate, the escalator positioning is just plain daft, and it can get pretty chilly in the winter as it isn't an entirely indoor shopping centre. That aside, it does what it's supposed to do pretty well. It's fairly enormous with well over 100 stores, many of them without other branches in Leeds or even in nearby towns. This shows in the thousands of shoppers that wander through it over the weekends. If you don't like crowds I'd avoid this place during peak shopping hours and definitely over the run up to Christmas. However, if you can brave the crowds it's well worth a visit for those who love to shop. Check out the sculptures too. I love the way Trinity has had art incorporated into it's design. That horse in the centre is the Equus Altus, a packhorse carrying cloth, textiles being an industry that Leeds was traditionally famous for, and is by the Scottish Sculptor Andy Scott (his Kelpies sculpture in Falkirk are clearly of the same style and were completed at a similar time). The sculpture of the woman is the Briggate Minerva - Minerva being the goddess of weaving and culture. And you thought it was just about buying a new pair of jeans. My favourite part, though? The Trinity Kitchen. There are a few permanent eateries that you might expect in any city (Carluccio's, Yo! Sushi, Handmade Burger Co, etc) but the real fun comes from the less common places and the rotating food stands and bars. Don't be afraid to try something you haven't seen there before, rather, take your chance before it's gone. Download the Trinity app too, to earn points and rewards.

Shopping made easier. Love the Everyman cinema and its setting. The shops are spacious and it's always busy.

A whole Victorian street in the shopping heart of Leeds enclosed by a wonderfully modern glass covering. OK, so the shops are all designer, the ones everyone loves to look in, sometimes go in to have a look at just how much some people are prepared to pay for t-shirt....but boy the designers have designed a perfect place for designers to come sell their designer bits 'n bobs. little bubbling fountains, coffee and bagel huts for that quick pit stop and belly filler. I sat in here for about an hour, just sipping my cheap filter coffee and commoner's bacon and egg bagel getting a good view of how the other half live. I didn't mind, I was content, in such a place I find it hard to believe anyone could feel otherwise.

The Victoria Quarter is the Leeds hotspot for chic shopping. I'm sure it would object to being…read moredescribed as such but that's tough, cos it's be that's writing it so ner. In all seriousness, The Victoria Quarter is the opulent home to some of the more high end brands of the Leeds shopping arena, and with it comes certain prestige in being housed here. The little independent stores like the French Revolution and Rose & Co gain a little kudos in being located here, as that is the effect the Victoria Quarter has on a business here. It is really rather easy to get lost in the annals of the walkways, be it through gawping at all the lovely shopping enticements, or be it from the identical high vaulted ceilings and archways criss crossing across one another, identical fountains, and sympathetic shop signage so that it doesn't interfer with the original features and feel of the Victorian decor. Depending on which entrance you take you will find fountains tinkling delicately, or small tables with coffee service, or even a small but assuredly delicious pattisserie. Benches are also dotted around and if you take the time to perch, and knock your head back you'll see the bizarre yet beautiful glass decoration. A worthy attraction all on it's own.

It's a funny thing to write a review of a shopping centre, but since my last visit to The Light, I…read morerealised I was indeed a fan. Whilst it's of course handy to review the individual shops, giving an overview of these places is not without use. It's not large, it's not bustling per se, but it's got some real gems within and for that it deserves a mention. One of my favourite indie coffee shops, La Bottega Milanese, is housed inside and it's well worth stopping by for a pick me up. Not only do they have great coffee, but plentiful and delicious bites too. You'll also find some lovely shops, including Fabrication and Joy, both of which are fab for a browse. (More on those individually.) As far as shopping centres go, I do enjoy the fact it has a pleasant mix of independents and chains, although I can't say I visit for Cafe Rouge or Starbucks all that often. I've long intended upon eating at Franco's, since trying a bite of their pizza at Epernay some time ago, so expect some words on there soon. I'm sad that Salt's had to leave the place, but I hear they're still online if you're hankering for some of their delicious fare. All in all, it'll take you perhaps a few minutes to wander through, but it's a gorgeous building and well worth investigating. They've some kind of discount club, sometimes do events, and are yet another location in Leeds that gives us the shopping prowess we have.

As shopping centres go, an amble through The Light is a considerably pleasant experience. The very…read morehigh glass ceiling makes for a very light and airy space (hence the name), with an almost monumental feel when descending the escalator onto the ground floor. The Light doesn't boast a huge range of shops, but is does manage to fit in a cinema, hotel and gym. Like most shopping centres, the shops are all chain stores, though of a more up market ilk that those of nearby St. John's or the Merrion Centre. Due to the lack of independent retailers, bars and eateries the Light definitely lacks character in its offering, but its character lies in the huge towering space within, and the use of what were once exterior walls and windows of neighbouring buildings in its slick interior. If you seek a tranquil shopping experience, fancy a Nando's, a trip to Vue, or simply want to take a short cut slicing off the corner between Albion Street and the Headrow, a walk through The Light can bring a moment of calm amongst the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

The Merrion Centre in Leeds is the second largest shopping centre in the city. Although I much…read moreprefer the larger Trinity Leeds nearby, they still have a nice selection of brands here, and the location being right by the First Direct Arena is useful to hop in without much of a detour before a show. As of January 2024, it's the 41st largest shopping centre in the UK in terms of retail space at 74,100 meters squared in area. Parking is expensive, and it's shared with the arena nearby, rates start at £3.50 for one hour, but when you're parking in a city you always seem to get similar rates. The inside of the shopping centre looks ordinary pretty much like any mall which opened in the UK around the 60s/70s. It's easy enough to follow the layout, there is a large map which shows not only the shops inside the centre, but the rest of Merrion Way, including the outlets just outside including Pizza Express, Starbucks and the Co-Op, and then leading to the arena and Ibis Hotel. There is a large Morrisons supermarket located here and an Amazon Hub featuring two Amazon Lockers for deliveries/returns. There are many budget shops located here which you might not find elsewhere in the city centre including Iceland, Heron Foods and Home Bargains and one or two charity shops. 3* - OK, the shopping centre isn't somewhere you'd go out of your way to visit, luckily due to being within the city centre of a big city, you don't have too, useful if you're looking for a specific store here but otherwise it's just another reasonable addition to Leeds' shopping scene.

The Merrion Centre is one of the larger shopping centres of Leeds and as such offers a little bit…read moremore choice in shopping. One of the most obvious shops within the Merrion Centre is the huge Morrisons, and accompanying car park, which is useful for residents across the city. The range of shops includes KRCS Apple Store, Fuji Hiro, Yorkshire Linen Co., Costa Coffee, Peacocks, O2 store, Thorntons and a great deal more. At the back of the Merrion Centre there are a number of indie style shops too, which often are overlooked, but are worth going along to check out. Some of the more innovative elements of the Merrion Centre include their impressive Christmas display which each year puts a smile on the wee kid's faces as they toddle past! Currently, or at least when I last visited, there was a really intriguing and interesting art installation along the walls of the entrance adjacent to Morrisons. I noticed that there were peep holes in the wall and odd lights, and on further investigation noticed that if you looked through the eye holes there were video projections, displays and models on show! It was really very cool. All in all, Merrion is a pretty decent place to shop. Certainly, it has enough of a range of stores to satisfy most people's tastes, needs and desires.

(Though I mentioned previously, I'd only just discovered this quirky gem!) Of course, there are still a few shops that I'm less keen on/don't visit too often but as it goes there are still some worthy places to visit in here! Of course there is Jumbo (again as mentioned prior) - a seriously decent, large, independent music shop which not only houses a proud collection of vinyl but sells most of the best gig tickets for in and around Leeds too. Whilst this shopping centre isn't the most interesting for indie/unique choice, it has a few damn good things going for it and I'm becoming much more regular visitor. Found is truly a lovely place to go for a browse, housing both vintage and vintage styled goods, indie jewellery and other interesting finds. There's a new toy shop, which seems perfectly timely for Christmas, and it looks to be of a similar theme to The Discovery Store, so should be reasonably interesting! Dare I say it, I'm even becoming a browsing fan of Dorothy Perkins, so all in all I'm getting fonder and fonder of the St. Johns Centre! If nothing else, this would be a good place to start for gift inspiration as the year swiftly comes to a close...

There's not really much out of the ordinary here but it does it's job. I'm sure there are plenty of bargains to be found if you know where to look. Shops flank the wide walk ways which are also dotted with stalls selling things like off-brand hand bags and personalised gifts. There are a couple of food places too, but they're the standard thing you expect in a shopping centre (McDonalds and, I think, a Subway). Student discounts are offered in a lot of the stores, which further helps if you're shopping on a tight budget. Probably the most interesting stores are Evolution, an ethical home ware store and Jumbo records, and independent music shop.

Some of the stores here include a Little Waitrose, which is a small store but always worth a look in especially considering loyalty card holders can get a free coffee every day or tea, and a newspaper when you spend £5 on weekdays, or £10 on weekends. HMV, Game and JD Sports also have stores here, and they is a few eateries including Subway and a few smaller / independant chains which we certainly don't have where I'm from in Manchester! This certainly isn't a place you can spend a few hours, infact you can barely spend an hour here, unless you're looking for a store in particular, it isn't worth calling in here, unless you are walking around Leeds city center, as it is quite poor, small and appears run down, like most of the smaller shopping malls in Leeds, including St John's, Still with a few big name stores like Waitrose and HMV, I still feel it deserves 2 stars.
