Headingley has long been the area of choice for many a student and young professional seeking a multitude of hip bars, restaurants and coffee shops as well as some great boutique shopping and excellent access to the city and all university campuses.
Headingley has always had a great vibe and a fun atmosphere; you’re as likely to bump into well-heeled bright young things as you are batman and robin in full fancy dress. You can partake in the infamous Otley run in novelty attire of your choice, hit some of the trendy late night bars or tantalise your taste buds in one of Headingley’s award winning restaurants.
