Headingley
The student suburb with the cricket ground, the pubs of the Otley Run and good cheap food.
Headingley is the cricket and rugby ground, a long high street of pubs, cafés and takeaways, and the start of the Otley Run, the fancy-dress pub crawl that defines a certain kind of Leeds Saturday. It is lively every evening in term time and a bus ride from the centre. Match days transform it.
When it works
Partly outdoors: better on a dry day, with shelter if it turns. Best afternoon, evening, night.
Good for groups and locals' favourite.
