Leeds

Leeds may be ‘Knightsbridge of the North’, but there is more to it than just shopping.  It’s a cosmopolitan city with a large variety of excellent conference venues – there are over 100 to choose from across the full spectrum including the impressive Saviles Hall at the Royal Armouries to the historic boardroom at Three Albion Place. 


Accommodation is world class and  the city boasts great connections; you will not find many places offering a location like Leeds’ - just two hours from London, moments from the M1, M62 and A1 and eight miles from an International Airport offering a continually growing number of connections with the rest of Europe.
