Best Shopping Malls in Esholt Area

"Designed by Frank Matcham in 1904 and redeveloped in 1990, the Victoria Quarter is a traditional shopping arcade with the most beautiful architecture. Under its famous stained glass roof, two parallel rows of shops house some of the best designer stores in Leeds. Here, you’ll find England’s only stand-alone Louis Vuitton shop outside the capital, along with two floors of luxury goods at Mulberry and gorgeous leather accessories straight-from New York at Coach."

"Home to the largest John Lewis store outside of London, Victoria Gate is one half of Victoria Leeds, which combines the centre with the Victoria Quarter as the home of luxury brands in Leeds, including Anthropologie,t the White Company and Aspinal of London. The centre is also home to restaurants including Cau, ISSHO and coming soon, The Ivy. George Street, Leeds, LS2 7AU, open Monday-Friday 9.30am-7pm, Saturdays 9am-7pm and Sundays 11am-5pm."

"One of the most notable landmarks in Leeds is also one of the most impressive buildings. The Corn Exchange, designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, has been at the centre of the city for more than 150 years. A key trading post in its heyday, the façade of this dominating circular building is certainly impressive with its many windows, sandstone base and iron-crested dome."

"Leeds Corn Exchange is a beautiful Victorian, grade 1 listed building. In the past it was used to trade grains, but it is now home to lots of independent shops, such as music stores, vintage clothes shops and a tattoo and piercing salon and some food outlets. It even hosts some cool events such as roller discos!"

"The Corn Exchange is, without a doubt, one of the finest buildings in Leeds. It dates back to 1864 and was designed by renowned architect Cuthbert Brodrick. With a huge domed roof and intricate Italian-style masonry, you can’t miss it, but the best is yet to come."

"Leeds’ famed shopping arcades are not just a place to stroll around and shop. They do represent the city’s cultural institution and have stood to represent the city’s growth as well. Thornton’s Arcade was opened in 1878, and is named after Charles Thornton, the proprietor of The Old White Swan Inn and the City Varieties."

"The landmark clock is located at the western end of Thornton’s Arcade. It has wooden sculptures of people and a huge bell. The sculptures are colorful, vibrant, and life-size."

"It wouldn’t be an English city without a shopping centre that you should definitely visit while you’re on your trip. For many people who live in Leeds, and many tourists who visit, the Trinity Shopping Centre leaves an impression on them. It houses retail, dining and leisure options, as well as providing entertainment."

"The city’s newest shopping centre opened in October 2016, bringing with it a medley of designer boutiques and luxurious restaurants. The landmark design mimics the city’s historic arcades, but it has its own unique style with sweeping curved shopfronts, extravagant light fixtures and a glass roof made out of 1,030 diamond shaped panels of glass set within an intricate steel structure. You’ll find the likes of Anthropologie, Hackett and Nespresso inside, along with the John Lewis’ flagship Northern store which stands at five storeys and 24,200 square foot."

"The development was completed in 2016 as part of the restoration of the historic shopping district around Vicar Lane and the Victoria Quarter. Spanning 53,400m2, it’s the largest premium retail and leisure venue in Northern England and houses a flagship John Lewis along with over 30 other stores. The project was designed by ACME alongside commercial property developer Hammerson and won the Best Shopping Centre at the prestigious MIPIM awards at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, beating off competition from Japan, Hong Kong, and China."

"Victoria Gate is a modern take on a traditional shopping arcade and a go-to destination for designer shopping in Leeds. You’ll find a range of well-known brands on here.

"Built in 1897, Grand Arcade is a stunning building with a one-off William Potts and Sons clock, but that’s not the only reason to visit the Leeds Landmark.

Get your nails refreshed at Magic Nails, your eyebrows threaded at Browline and grab a culture fix at the branch of HMV on the lower floor."
