- A Leeds City Centre walking tour at sunset as we explore the great city of Leeds UK. We start at Leeds Train Station and explore the whole of Leeds City Centre including Leeds Corn Exchange and the Town Hall and the shops, bars, cafes and restaurants of Leeds City Centre.
We thought we would take our cameras to the fantastic city of Leeds, West Yorkshire. We arrived in the city centre at sunset and left our hotel to head to Leeds Railway Station to start this walking tour. At the railway station there was a choice to make! Do we head up to Leeds Town Hall and go that way, or should we head towards the corn exchange and go that way?
It was decided to go the Corn Exchange route so that takes us along Boar Lane and Duncan Street then round past the corn exchange and further into Leeds City Centre to check out the shops at night.
The sun was setting by now and so it was great to see Leeds at night. The lights in the shops were bright and there were still plenty of Leeds people around doing their shopping and hanging out in the pubs and bars.
Leeds is a city in the northern English county of Yorkshire. On the south bank of the River Aire, the Royal Armouries houses the national collection of arms and artillery. Across the river, the redeveloped industrial area around Call Lane is famed for bars and live music venues under converted railway arches. Leeds Kirkgate Market features hundreds of indoor and outdoor stalls.
Leeds City Centre is great at any time of year but I really enjoyed this November autumn walk here. It's getting close to Christmas, the sun sets around 4pm and so you get that Christmas vibe but without the shoppers making Leeds City Centre too busy!
Further along this Leeds walking tour we see Kirkgate, Briggate and Headrow which are all famous Leeds streets with great shops and fab bars. We also head up to the north of the city centre where we see Leeds Art Gallery and Leeds Central Library.
After a fantastic walk around Leeds City Centre I ended up at The Box bar on Infirmary Street where i finished this Leeds virtual tour and headed inside for a burger and one or two beers!

I like your videos GimbalWalkTV, but unfortunately I seem to be having problems with the picture quality as it keeps switching from 720 back to 240. Has this happened to anyone else here?
@@tomspence8506 That's a new one to me - nobody else has mentioned that really
@@GimbalWalkTV I just thought you should know Gimbal Walk TV. I'm guessing there could be a problem with my device or something. Other than that your videos are really interesting and intriguing. Keep up the good work.
I swear Leeds is the nicest city of the large northern cities.
It's Leeds vs Manchester for me!
Not just saying it cos I am from Leeds Leeds is far better then Manchester in a lot of ways
What world do you live in? Liverpool Manchester Newcastle and most of all Glasgow are streets ahead. 61 I am Leeds born and bred.
@@jamesbovington8218 again James why don't you f..k off to one then. Nowt worse than a bitter Leeds man
@@Johnneilson13 That's the talk of someone who has no manners poorly educated and like me probably grew up on a Leeds housing estate.
What a handsome city centre.
I was born and raised in leeds but I moved away 15 years ago. I’m glad to see the city thriving and it’s never looked cleaner or more beautiful. I miss her terribly.
Thank you so much for this. Due to agoraphobia, I haven’t been in town for 20 odd years, so looking around it was an eye-opener. So much has changed, and I don’t recognise the place. I really appreciated the fact that you didn’t just walk through, eyes front, you moved around so we could see shops, road signs etc. I would have loved to have gone through the market and the art gallery, maybe you’ll make another video doing that one day? Thanks again. 🤗
Oh thank you!
Yes this is the first of many videos I’m filming here - this was just a quick scoot round so I could find my bearings and learn my way around a few streets so watch this space!
@@GimbalWalkTV …wonderful 😃 you have a new subscriber 🤗
@@GimbalWalkTV yes I was thinking the same...the market inside and outside..the bus and coach station the west Yorkshire playhouse.the art gallery the civic hall leeds University and
Hyde Park...
That would be lovely thank you..I enjoyed the video..
Leeds is beautiful..easy to get around and friendly place...ernestine leeds uk 🇬🇧
@@MoonSpinners Hi, you can go and enjoy the center of Leeds! The Lord Jesus Christ can set you free from agoraphobia or anything else. We do not have to fear if we have Him. He loves you, He cares about you dearly, please seek Him. All the best!
@@pppb9086 …thank you for your kind words
Amazing city. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea Leeds was so grand. I live in Hampshire.
It's a dump.
Leeds is the best big little city on earth in my biased opinion 😂
What a wonderful city center. Thanks for the video. I left Yorkshire with my parents 70 years ago, and have never thought of Leeds being so impressive. Hard to explain, but it is a mixture of older buildings and modernity well put together..
The transport system is poor basically the same type of diesel buses that we had in 1962.
@@jamesbovington8218 Ditto for Sheffield. The public transport system appears to have deteriorated substantially.
Wow I’ve not been to Leeds since I graduated from Uni there, back in 2007…thanks for sharing
You are welcome
Impressive city,looked very clean ,no litter blowing about.
People taking pride in their city.Well done to Leeds council ,and people of
Leeds.That victorian arcade with the dome was spectacular.
It's a shit hole but citty centre clean
No litter? The city's full of litter. It's a dump. I am 61 Leeds born and bred I do know what I am talking about.
@@jamesbovington8218 is it worst than Birmingham
@@saiguddati2303 Don't know Birmingham but ALL large English cities I know have severe litter problems much worse than smaller cities like York.
@@jamesbovington8218 is Leeds compare to Manchester tho bcz Manchester is close to u
Left Leeds in 1985, only been back to the centre a handful of times. Really miss my home city.
I've been to Leeds twice this year (once with my husband in the car for a Billiards Tournament he was in) and the second time with Mum on the train. Both times I loved it. Before then I'd never been there! It's weird how things turn out. Thanks for the upload. It brought back great memories of this great city.
Leeds is such a wonderful city ❤️ Thanks for the lovely video! 😀 It was a great tour with a great route!
Who are the three people who disliked the video, and what more did they expect?! BRILLIANT video that will some day become an archive.
I expect its the three individuals around 17m22s , who appear to be harassing a guy in a wheelchair.
Leeds is a fabulous city. It’s a nice clean city with very friendly people. Yorkshire as a whole is just an amazing place to be.
It really is!
Very enjoyable video I worked on the railway in Leeds in the 70s has brought back memories
Wow 10/10 fantastic video thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Leeds is great. V underrated City for a weekend break. Easy to walk, I found it v safe compared to Liverpool, Manchester or London. Great pubs and restaurants and some of the best brewers in the UK.
But full of litter. Didn't you notice? How can you not? I have lived here most of my 61 years.
@@jamesbovington8218 can't say I noticed it. I did stay v central so prob where its cleaned more regularly
@@decotronq9054 I dropped my wife and grandson a few weeks ago at Central bus station and the fast food litter was nauseating. There are a lot of self centred dirty people roaming round Leeds. The city's parks though are some of the best in Britain.
@@jamesbovington8218 After London (where I lived for almost 6 years) and Manchester (where I've been living since 2019) Leeds is waay cleaner... and safer as well. Period.
@@PaulKalak Safer probably but cleaner maybe. It's still strewn with litter. I have lived here nearly 62 years I might just know what I am talking about.
It does have BEAUTIFUL OLD BUILDINGS !!! ❤
It really does! Fab city!
Fantastic tour of Leeds!My favourite trip there was to see the "The Saw Doctors in concert! Front row standing! Brilliant night 11 years ago this Dec 5th. Thanks for the memories! :)
You’re welcome!
Saw Doctors eh! I remember them!
Getting used to these city walks keep up the great work and keep on walking 😃👍🚶♂️
Thank you!
Gonna smash it this month
Thanks for this video. I absolutely love Leeds. Haven’t been able to get there this half term because of the weather, such a shame. Keep up the good work!
The Victoria Quarter is very nice area with all the fountains. Victoria Gate, Trinity, Millenium Square, Kirkgate Market, The University of Leeds and The Grand Arcade are worth checking out too.
Wow! Thank you for doing my home city, Love from Little London (place in Leeds) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our pleasure!
Love my City
What a nice walk tour of Leeds. There is so much to see. At the beginning I like that tree with some Christmas lights. 👍
Yes same!
Never been to Leeds but I am so impressed by the Architecture gorgeous city I think Leeds has, been let down by poor PR if you had asked me what city was the third biggest in UK I would almost certainly said Manchester
Awesome walk
Brilliant I’ve been there last month , I’ve been looking for your walk videos before I go to certain places so I can see those beautiful places you’ve been featuring on your walks 👍🏻❤️
eu amo ver esses lugares
Very nice and beautiful memories
So nice
Muito lindo 🇧🇷🏴 eu amo esse lugar leeds e muito massa 🤙🏾
Leeds ama o Brasil!!!
Love Leeds 🇮🇹💯🇬🇧
You have good taste
Thanks for my childhood memories
You're very welcome - more to come!
Never been to Leeds before - quite the Metropolis isn't it ? So large ! Not 1, but 2 DPD vans in this one (17.12 & 18.40 ish) !! 🚚
Thanks for the trip Mr Walk - keep em coming !! 💯✔👍😍😀🤩
It's a pleasure to have a virtual tour in my city using a computer. Nice video. Greetings from Roundhay!! xx
Thanks you so much!
I'll be back to do a better one very soon!
Great video, hope you get the chance to walk inside the Corn Exchange, Market, Victoria Qtr and Trinity too next time. Come back when the council finishes the work around Corn Exchange
thanks for sharing
lovely place Leeds is!, makes Hull look like a poor relative, extra wide clean paths, designer shops, wonderful arcades, a smacks of affluence, great walk, your the alfred hitchcock, got to get that dpd van in, even the scaffolding is wonderfully wrapped, me thinks a stay in Leeds is due, thanks Gimbal Walk
Hull is poor anyway
Leeds City is nice but the nearly all areas around Leeds is like beruit
Why bring up hull
Another great & fantastic video of LEEDS CITY CENTRE | A sunset walk through Leeds City Centre | 4K Walking tour of Leeds!.👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Great video of my home city 😀
I need to do another more in-depth one to do it justice - I got well and truly lost on this one 🤣
Mine too. But it's a dump. I'm south Leeds born and bred but it's a dump.
My home city of around 40 years now. I don't have much reason to go to the centre these days so interesting to watch.
Great city
Great video. Thank you Leeds was my place of birth until moving to Bridlington 20 years ago.
Great place - I really love Leeds now having wandered the streets there!
Moved from one dump to another...
Not at all, love Brid at least I no longer get my car broken into 3 times a year.
@@karengill8234 I am 61 Leeds born and bred. Leeds talks big but it's a dump. Bridlington is lovely apart from the centre which is an unattractive dump. Surely you can't disagree? It's architecture in the centre is ugly and there are too many rough sleepers.
James, the centre of Brid doesn’t concern me I really never go there but love to travel to other places I live on the South side and it’s really nice I have no complaints whatsoever.
a lot of good places to eat in keeds on rate my takeaway often comes from leeds
Very nice city centre
Yes it is
Excellent vid
Thank you!
Nice to see Leeds now i nolonger live there.
Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
❤️👊
Great Video, you may need another hour or so as plenty more to see. In Leeds for the WE in December for a concert, always love visiting. The council seem to be investing in the Centre too, more pedestrianisation and plenty of new buildings going up.
I honestly can't wait to go back to Leeds - I love it now so much!
I know this may seem random, but do you recall the "Narnia" ad on the bus? Is there to be a play somewhere?
Would like to visit Leeds one day
Clean, litter free, wide streets, lots of bus 🚐 stops,nice architecture. Yeah you look great Leeds. Great video but I prefer the ones with commentary and music 🎶. 👍❤️
Thank you 🙏
Nice video
Thank you 🙏
Hey mate great vlog and walk round superb ....love Leeds 💯💯💯😊
Nice jaunt through Leeds City centre but only covered about 25%. Cheers.
Yeah I got totally lost so stopped when I got to Box Bar and had some cocktails and chicken
Going to film the rest though - I love leeds!
Will be awesome when they complete the pedestrianisation.
not surprised you got a few stares with the camera up north, we dont get much of that up here hahaha
ha ha I've had worse - an old man in Mansfield shouted at me today for filming his dog ha ha!
My own town and I love the place, but looking at this and I cant help but feel that Leeds city council are letting the city down. Its starting to look a bit of a shithole and in good need of a clean up, a good facelift should be on the cards I think. Anyway, I hope you don't go for a walk around Bradford. ;-)
61 Leeds born and bred Leeds has a terrible litter problem. The road network around the centre is ugly and the train network should be put underground in the centre. The best thing in Leeds are the parks Middleton Roundhay Bramley Temple Newsam and the canal walk from Woodlesford to Apperley Bridge. Delighted the flawed HS2 no longer coming to Leeds.
Very close to me live next town over! 😁👍(Bradford)
Leeds is a dump but Bradford's worse. Led by politicians with no ambition.
@@jamesbovington8218 Agreed!
A friend and I were there but just for a few hours about seven years ago. I recognized the train station, and my friend took a couple of pictures of me standing in front of that monument with the guy on the horse. We had lunch at a Wetherspoons that used to be a bank. I didn't see it in this walk, and we went to a very good museum.
You most likely went to Becketts bank and LEEDS museum at millienium square which is behind the town hall yes he didn’t make it up there only 2 mins around the corner behind the library LEEDS is growing city hope you’ll be back again soon :)
@@aidenleeds I hope to return some day, but I'm a Canadian, and until this Covid thing is over, I'm not going to travel.
City Square and The Black Prince on horseback
The guy on the horse is Edward of Woodstock aka The Black Prince. In our time he'd be hauled before the International Criminal Court as a war criminal for supervising the massacre of the inhabitants of Limoges in 1370.
@@jamesbovington8218 And they celebrated by building a statue?
Hello Please can you let me know what lens do you use and the camera thanks
just whatever I have with me at the time.
Dont' worry about gear - it's not important
Just grab a phone or camera and start filming!
How funny I was just talking about the shopping arcade and Harvey Nichols the other day
Deliverooing around Leeds some great memories
Hi only got to see for 5mins coach stopped got to get burger and chip and say been to Leeds was coming back from redcar
WHAT CAMERA 📷 ARE YOU USING? YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME👍
Thank you!
What camera is used for this ?
Someone else asked for camera information but doesn't look like they are going to tell you.
Where else should I film? Where would you like to see next?
Colne in Lancashire.
More stuff from Yorkshire if possible. I'm amazed ive only ever visited York. I usually driven or flown, enroute to Scotland.
If you do film Colne, you could pop down the road to Barrowford and film there
How about Oxford?
Bradford.
Hi gimbal walk, why no voice from you to explain the area and places you are going? Can't tell which building and streets interesting places, historic st.
It's not that kind of channel
Gimbal walk tv Leeds city centre. Very good but could have been fantastic if you had shown the street names as you walked down. i just couldn't understand why you didn't do this. It is many many years since I lived there & didn't always recognise where we were so Thankyou for the video but if you do another please include the street name as you walk down. It would have made the world of difference.
Thanks Joan - I fully agree
I filmed this a while back before I started putting street names on my videos (I do now!)
My leeds miss you 🥰
Nice Gud Job
Thank you
It's made me kinda sad on a normal week day that would be packed crowds of people all brushing passed each other It's nearly Christmas and it's empty 😢
The guy in the thumbnail and the hull walthriugh thumbnail is my old art teacher ha. Was he in both towns or just photoshopped?
Just dropped in there with photoshop Harry!
I will be going to spend a week in Leeds over Xmas can anybody recommend places to go? Thank you
Leeds kirkgate market in Leeds got some really good food stalls in there. try the onion bhaji from the Indian at the bottom they're insane. Fight club for a fun night if there's a few of you Roxy ballroom's for that too. Blue sakura a fancy all you can eat Japanese is amazing all ordered on a tablet it's quick and really good quality
The parks are the best Middleton Roundhay and Temple Newsam. Meanwood Valley Trail but take wellies. Marks and Spencer archive at the University Business School. Then walk around Woodhouse Moor. The Tiled Hall in the Art Gallery is unique.
If you have children, Tropical World is nice & inexpensive- located @ Roundhay Park
Is it safe for students ???
Yes it’s fine!
Quarry house and million square / civic Hall you missed great video tho
Things have changed a lot
Definitely
For the worst
@@jamesbovington8218 yes my friend. It is becoming commercial city not good for living.
much better than Edinburgh
Britain's cities will have to be careful not to 'throw up" to many cheap modern buildings..I for one want to visit elegan cities with history on show
Agreed!
A nice mix of the two for me
That underpass at the beginning is one of the most polluted roads in the UK….bad ventilation
Is it my imagination... Or, are you just ( WANTING TO GET THIS VIDEO OVER ??? ) 😂😂😂😂😂 Can't say as I BLAME YOU !!! 😜 Maybe you're there to early for the JOLLY, JOLLY HOLIDAY ! 😞
Love Leeds! Can’t wait to go back
@@GimbalWalkTV Well Ive given you a lot of comments but you have made many people happy with your video. Youv'e certainly got people talking. Thank you very much for all the happy memories. Will certainly watch any more you make.
you started outside my office block, nice.. Leeds is a great city, ruined by a terrible council
Yes they have no long term plan and no ambition.
why tf am i watching this i live here
ha ha that's how I started this channel after watching videos on my home town too! 🤣
The homeless guy in the wheelchair carrying on lol 😂 typical Leeds that always a big group of em when I walk round town carrying on
There was a big fight going on there I think. I was going to step in but it looked like he was fine and had it covered with his angrymad shouting ha ha
do you have a car
Yes
The architectural gems in Leeds are now overshadowed by ugly modern buildings that look like Lego blocks. The centre is also overcrowded. I never go in town.
The classiest spot in Leeds is Park Square.
Forty years ago next autumn I started my first full time adult job ...in Park Square. Leeds needs that central area underground railway 🚂 first proposed in the 1930s.
Thanks for the video. Still many fine old buildings have survived the ravages of low quality modernity. Why is that in an age of “green obsession” the majority of provincial cities in the U.K. have such an aversion to trees in the streets? The city would look so much better and they help to disguise much of the ugliness of cheap modern developments, that Hilton e.g. what a heap of s**t.
Good points about the trees!

Why? I mean why would nake a video of this place? I mean, it is crap, almost dystopyan, noisy, ugly. I dont get it.
Don’t worry about it 🤣🤣
If that’s your opinion then why are you watching it????
which poop hole do you come from?
I am 61 Leeds born and bred and sad to say that owing to poor political leadership it's a fourth rate city. Glasgow Bristol Manchester Liverpool Newcastle are all streets ahead. Leeds has no ambition.
Leeds South bank regeneration alone should be big enough of a reason to convince you Leeds does have ambition and a great future. It will be one of the biggest city centres expansions in Europe doubling the size of Leeds city centre and bringing a whole host of new projects like Leeds Aire park and exciting additions to the skyline.
Jesus James it's come on leaps and bounds in last 10 years with plenty more development ahead and loads of ambition move yourself to Glasgow if it's that good 🥴
@@DanStoneUK exactly compared to 10 15 years ago its like a different city. I love it and it's future plans
@@DanStoneUK I know all about this I live in Leeds. The city has no transport network comparable to other major cities and no ambitious local politicians. All they want is defunct HS2.
