Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Sutton on the Forest Area

"The Victoria Quarter is one of the most luxurious shopping destinations in Leeds, as well as being a food-lover's haven. It has over 80 shops with many of them high-end, such as Louis Vuitton, Mulberry and Vivienne Westwood, to name a few. Maybe not somewhere you’ll be gracing too often on a student budget, but it's the perfect place to window-shop or even take Mum when she comes to visit!"

"One of the pride and joys of the city, the Victoria Quarter rewrites the rules for what a modern shopping centre can be. For starters, it’s simply gorgeous. From the wonderfully tiled floor to the largest stained-glass roof in Britain, it’s a masterpiece in how to refresh Victorian architecture."

"If you want to indulge in highly luxury shopping, then Victoria Leeds is a place to be. It is home to the fantastic Victoria Gate and spectacular Victoria Quarter. It brags about more than 50 designer’s brands like The Kooples, Ted Baker, Louis Vuitton and Vivienne Westwood."

"Leeds Corn Exchange is a beautiful Victorian building that sits on Call Lane (one of Leeds bustling nightlife areas) in the heart of the city centre.

In 2008 the Corn Exchange was reopened as a place for independent retailers (there’s come lovely boutique shops to look around as well as cafes) that we know today!"

"Unlike most modern day shopping centres, this one is situated in one of the finest Victorian buildings standing in the north of England. Proving itself to be an architectural masterpiece and one of the cultural icons that makes Leeds the city that it is today. If you prefer independent retail enterprises to large chain shops, this is where you belong."

"A grade I listed building, the Corn Exchange was built in 1863 and was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, the architect behind Leeds Town Hall. The building is now a boutique shopping centre home to independent retailers and food outlets."

"Set up in 1977 and dedicated to the appreciation of visual arts, the Henry Moore Institute has been long established as a world-leading institution to study sculpture. Why not take a seat in the research library before heading in to see the gallery's award-winning exhibitions that highlight the best in contemporary sculpture?. The Institute's programme of talks, conferences and lectures are open to all and are often free, to secure sculptor Henry Moore’s vision of engaging the public in sculpture."

"Located in the city centre of Leeds, the Henry Moore Institute is a space dedicated to celebrating sculpture, in particular the works of the eponymous local artist. Talks, discussions and after-hours events complement the rotating series of exhibitions."

"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."

"Though not the grandest, Thornton’s Arcade was the first Victorian shopping arcade to be built in Leeds and remains one of the most interesting. Its sky-coloured, neo-Gothic arches rise up to a glass ceiling and..."

Whether you’re visiting after a night out or in between lectures, Bear’s Den is the place to be for melting grilled cheese and tasty fillings, served between slices of crusty bread – the perfect comfort food!"

"A maze of bars, shops, and cafés that looks straight out of a Harry Potter film, Sunbridge Wells is unlike anything I have ever seen!. It opened a few weeks before we arrived in Bradford, so not many people knew where it was yet. Luckily, we spotted a group of guys who were heading there and were kind enough to lead the way."

"Grand Arcade is another beautiful Grade II listed building, with a beautiful Victorian architecture consisting of arched windows and wooden floors. It is again home to lots of independent shops, such as a wedding dress shop, as well as some well-loved eateries like Zaap Thai Street Food."

"Considering its relatively small stature, the Grand Arcade definitely packs plenty in. It’s full of places to eat and drink – this is where you’ll find the hidden entrance to The Domino Club tucked away inside Lords’ Barbering, and the quaint Just Grand!"

"The Grand Arcade is one of the oldest shopping Arcades in Leeds City Centre, and it is well worth a visit…"

"Yes, I’m aware it’s a chain but Byron burgers are too elite not to mention. Consistency is key from chains and I can confirm that ordering Byron to your uni house does just that. There is the odd occasion where the chips aren’t awfully crispy upon arrival, but just pop them back in the oven and complain to Deliveroo and you’ve got yourself a fiver."

"‘The best burger on the high street’ & other superlatives are regularly tossed in the direction of Byron Hamburgers, the chain that eve ..." Read our full review"

"What: As the name might suggest, The Restaurant Bar & Grill is more of a refined affair than some of the laid-back cafés in our guide. Set in an impressive building which used to be a post office, this is certainly a grand setting for a weekend brunch. Expect classic dishes such as Highland scrambled and avocado on toast, as well as healthy options like coconut yoghurt with fruit."
