The building declares itself as a trendy but sophisticated office space, grabbing you from the moment you walk in. Greeted by a dreamy pastel colour scheme, cosy sofas, there's even a wellbeing library for your clients to lose themselves in whilst waiting for your meeting.
This chilled-out space creates a calm ambience that's rarely found in Reception spaces- and we're in love with it.

The opportunities here are endless: especially if you're part of a big business that's outgrown their old, tired office space: the large leased spaces at West Gate are ideal for those wanting a city centre upgrade in a prestigious LS1 postcode.
As Bruntwood Works believes in nurturing their community of city commuters, there are opportunities aplenty to get involved in too.
Growing your business without leaving the four walls of your office at coffee mornings with hot coffee and fresh pastries or find common ground outside of your business pitches and join a residents-only gym class.

The state-of-the-art Les Mills leisure facilities here are just some of the options that will bring your colleagues together and give them the downtime they need (and deserve).
When your 9-5 is in a nurturing and ambitious environment that drives connection and innovation through community, you're far more likely to stay put and Bruntwood Works knows that. Their answer? To provide a community-led events calendar that breaks up the daily grind with an hour of laughter and networking every single week.
Productivity and mental health are both at the centre of priorities here and it shows.

But that's only the beginning of the experience, given you'll spend most of your time sat at the desk (or stood up if you're one of those standing desk people), the West Gate offices are tailored to your business' needs.
With spaces from 4,995 sq ft - 12,006 sq ft, and space for up to 200 workers within any of the spaces, tailor your office to your business needs (and that can include a snack fridge) by starting with a blank canvas and collaborating with the in-house design team to bring your creative vision to life.

The bespoke office spaces are managed and let internally, with flexible packages and contracts as short as twelve months allow your office space to grow as your company expands.
Bruntwood Works has over 10 years of experience in creating spaces for business success, so you're in safe and experienced hands here.
All West Gate users can take full advantage of the city centre location. There's cycle storage for those utilising the opportunity to go green on their city commute, and secure parking within walking distance of West Gate too. Those hopping on the train to work will only have an eight-minute walk from the station and there's so many bus routes passing that no matter how you travel to work, West Gate is an easy and accessible location to reach.

British Pie Week 2026 – all the best places to find a pie in and around Leeds
Sweet, savoury, filled or plain: pies are a staple in the British diet.
It's the best week of the year...it's British Pie Week, not that we need much of an excuse to celebrate that flaky, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry, but we're taking all the excuses we can this week to embrace all things pie related.
We've rounded up al our favourite spots to grab a pie, as a lunchtime snack or on the go in the city centre - so take your pick, whatever the occasion.
Dave's Pies and Ales
Kirkstall Road, Burley | Open from 5pm
Images: The Hoot Leeds
Dave's Pies and Ales is locally known as the smallest pub in Leeds - and whilst the menu and seating area might be teeny, what it does do, it does well.
Choose from a range of pies and peas with classic ales on tap to choose from inside this micropub 12-11pm every day of the week.
Whitelocks Ale House
Turk's Head Yard, just off Briggate | Kitchen open from 12pm
Image: The Hoot Leeds
Whitelocks is known in Leeds for its Sunday Roasts, warm fire and homely pub ambience- but their pies are the unsung heroes on the menu.
The beef and ale pie is made from Yorkshire Meat Co. beef, a Wetherby-based supplier that brings beef from the likes of Tancred Grange Farm in Richmond to Leeds. This one is served with chunky chips and sautéed seasonal veg, seat by the fireplace optional.
Pieminister
Duncan Street, Leeds city centre | Open from 12pm
Images: The Hoot Leeds
Available as a Sunday roast, bottomless brunch or just a plain old (but beautifully presented) pie and mash, Pieminister is famous for its pies for all the right reasons. On the shelves in your local supermarkets and available as a sit-down scran on Boar Lane, Pieminister is a place where pies are guaranteed to make up the majority of the menu options.
Finer Pleasures
Multiple locations
If you don't know about Josh at Finer Pleasures, then you're seriously missing out. Josh is somewhat of a pie-oneer (sorry), and is the master of creating weird and wonderful pie creations from lasagna pies to gammon, egg and pineapple pork pies.
You can find him over in Crossgates most Wednesdays, but you're best bet is to keep an eye on his socials for the best chance on bagging one of his pies. Trust us, they're like gold dust.
Wilsons Butchers
Austhorpe Road, Cross Gates | Open from 7.30am
Image: Wilsons Butchers
Located in Armley, Morley and Pontfract - Wilsons Pies and Pasties is a small indie chain from Wilsons Butchers and crowned champions of the Yorkshire Small Pork Pie Championships.
At lunch time, the shops offer a true Yorkshire delicacy of pie and mushy pies with optional (but essential) mint sauce. All Wilsons pies and pasties are made using locally sourced produce in Garforth, so these a true Leeds pies, and well worth sampling.
Five of the best new openings to come out of Leeds so far this year
Clementine Hall
It's been a very busy start to 2026 so far this year in Leeds, and we're definitely not complaining.
It's safe to say our city is thriving, we've welcomed everything from shops and Italian cafes to tequila bars in just two months.
In case you've missed any of them, allow us to give you the lowdown of what's new in the city.
So, without further ado...
Salon Madre
Wellington Street, Leeds city centre
Images: The Hoot Leeds
Leeds welcomed its newest late-night destination last Friday, and it’s going down as smoothly as its tequila. Salon Madre is a Mexican-inspired bar with a dedicated margarita menu, fabulous food, and an atmosphere that’ll make you want to get up dancing almost immediately. And if you fancy unleashing your competitive side, then there’s plenty of pool tables ready and waiting to be played.
A slice of Puglia has landed over in Pudsey with this fabulous Italian cafe. Nodding to his hometown of Puglia, Fabio has created the Italian experience right here in Leeds, inviting people to swing by for Italian coffee, homemade pizza slices, as well as gelato by the cone (or tub) full.
Topshop
John Lewis in Victoria Gate, Leeds city centre

One for the girlies… because Topshop is officially BACK in Leeds. The iconic high-street favourite has returned, taking over a dedicated space inside John Lewis inside Victoria Gate and yes, we’re already planning the outfit rotations. After Topshop and Topman disappeared from the high street back in 2021, it’s safe to say we’ve all felt the gap in our wardrobes. And of course… Joni jeans, we’ve missed you dearly.
Pollini's Pizza
Lands Lane, Leeds city centre

These guys are known for dishing out huge New York-style pizza slices for less than £4 in Leeds Kirkgate Market since 2022. And now with a second site in Leeds, the big boy slices are making their way across the city, from classic margaritas to meat feasts.
And you best believe we were the first people down to grab it, because we can’t resist a slice from Pollini's.
Pop Mart
Briggate, Leeds city centre
Images: The Hoot Leeds
Pop Mart officially opened on Briggate in January, and Leeds turned out in full force with queues stretching all the way down Thornton’s Arcade. With endless blind boxes to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a Labubu girlie or obsessed with the Crybaby series, you can now get your favourites right here in Leeds.
