aris has the Champs-Élysées. Barcelona has La Ramblas. Now it’s time to add Leeds’ Call Lane to the list of ultimate avenues. With restaurants, boutique shops and the coolest late night watering holes, it’s the place to head regardless of what time it is.

With the Victorian splendour of the Leeds Corn Exchange as a focal point, the area is a discerning shopper’s haven. Under the glazed dome you’ll find independent fashion retailers, like The Hidden Wardrobe, showcasing the latest wave of designers.

You’ll also find vintage retailers where you can pick-up that one-off Mad Men frock for the ultimate retro look, perhaps starting with the All American Vintage store.

Once you’ve dumped your shopping bags and changed into your new outfit, it’s time to eat. Call Lane has more than its fair share of restaurants, offering contemporary cuisine in relaxed setting. The a la carte menu at Art’s Café Bar and Restaurant does just that, combining classic ingredients with a twist.

With the stomach deliciously lined, it’s time to get the drinks in. Call Lane bars are packed full of the city’s movers and shakers – cocktail shakers that is.

Resident mixologists at Oporto’s and Norman Bar provide the pizzazz as the DJs drop the latest dubplates. As local lads Kaiser Chiefs once nearly sang – we predict you’ll have a riot.
