City Overview
Leeds is the largest city in Yorkshire and a northern center for finance and legal services (a legal hub second only to London), with rising retail, digital and health-tech. A large student population (University of Leeds) gives it strong culture and shopping. Living and housing costs are well below London — a great-value university and business city, a gateway to Yorkshire near the Peak District and historic York.
