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.

With 24/7 access to the building and its facilities, this truly is the office space that has it all- all day, every day.

Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
Audio North’s Artist of the Month: Cole LC | March 2026
Thomas Melia
The North is full of amazing artists, and we’re spotlighting one every single month – it's time to go 'Rollin' with Cole LC
Leeds' own Cole LC has got very far doing his "little music thing" and has seen him reach all new heights as his upcoming project suggests with its title West Yorkshire to Westend Show
This musician has built a pretty distinctive artistic style that fuses rap, all while making sure his West Yorkshire identity was kept in the forefront.
That's because, all of Cole's visuals have been filmed across the city at some pretty recognisable spots like Kirkgate Market, City Varieties and Belgrave Music Hall.
So far, this local lad has captured the attention of music lovers with songs like 'Westbrook' and 'Your Tings My Ting' both having over one million streams.
Now, Cole LC sits down to talk all about being Audio North's ‘Artist of the Month’ and shares more teasers about his highly-anticipated EP.

What can we expect from your upcoming EP?
This is my first big release in quite a while after the release of Favourite Version in 2023 and I've done a lot of growing. I started writing last Summer when I was going through a tough period but it's gone onto create some of my best songwriting stories. It's a one big note to self that I hope helps other people out.
What is it like being a Northern independent artist?
I grew up in Roundhay with my family and Leeds as a city has had a monumental impact on what I do as an artist. By being close to the city centre, it has allowed me to be exposed to different types of music, soaking up all these genres has helped influence what I do now.
How do you think Leeds is shaping the UK music scene?
This city is a big credit to music and it's a testament to the musicians of Leeds having that talent but also being hardworking. It's also about authenticity and that's what we've got. The climate of music in general is very intense and there's lots of competition but the sheer talent here in Leeds makes it impossible for us to go unnoticed.

Who are some up and coming artists you're checking out?
Ellur and you spell it "Ell-uh" because she's from Bradford. She's an Alt-pop artist who I've been listening to a lot. I've also loved Charlotte Plank, especially her latest single 'crybby blue'. There's even Aaron Rowe who supported Lewis Capaldi.
What does a performance day look like for you?
I don't have a specific routine before a show. Practicing my lyrics is a big one and having a mint tea too.
What is your ultimate dream musically?
I'd love to perform whenever I like and just know people would be there and support me. I'd love the financial freedom to be able not worry and creative new tracks whenever whereever I want. Music is so powerful and speaks to everyone, I want to keep improving my quality and progress.
If you could collaborate with anyone who would it be?
Probably Justin Bieber because of how much I love him, he's the greatest of all time, he just is. When I was 14 I was so fuming watching him and seeing how good he is, I thought he'd put be out of a job forever. He has some unreal albums.
What's next for Cole LC?
I can guarantee you new music every single month for 2026. I know a lot of people have been getting in touch regarding a headline show so I'm hoping to organise a gig. I'm also going to make sure I keep the connection with people who enjoy my music whether that's in person or online.
