Headingley – Area Guide

Headingley Street in Leeds by Bevan Cockerill

Exuding independence and sophistication, Headingley is a hit with both students and professionals.

The atmosphere is upmarket with a twist and the streets are lined with an assortment of quality cafes and restaurants serving up locally renowned menus. Dare and Citrus cafes are Headingley’s home-grown success stories, as are authentic Italian restaurant Salvo’s and the award-winning Ferret Hall Bistro.

Nightlife is lively and eclectic, with the character of traditional pubs – such as the popular Original Oak – complemented by contemporary styled bars such as ArcBox and Trio.

Sport-lovers are also treated to top cricket and rugby action with Headingley Cricket Ground and the Leeds Rhinos stadium at the heart of the area.

Getting into the city centre is fast and convenient with regular direct routes via train and bus, and both university campuses are close at hand.
