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.

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.

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.

Neighbourhood Leeds bistro hailed as ‘a bit horny’ and ‘brilliant’ by national critic Camilla Long
Food critic Camilla Long visited Leeds for her latest review for The Times with her sights set on Horsforth's finest - Bavette Bistro.
Ever since opening back in 2024, Bavette Bistro nestled in the leafy suburb of Horsforth has made waves across the country for its sheer brilliance.
It's pretty much received five star reviews across the board and been handed awards from left, right and centre. And rightly so.
The Good Food Guide crowned Bavette the best local restaurant of 2024, and Michelin handed them a well deserved Bib Gourmand - so it's safe to say it's not just us who think it's really something special.
So it was only a matter of time until The Times popped in for a review, and this one is truly glowing.

The review labels Bavette as "warm, unmannered and unpretentious" as well as "authentically French".
Long describes the food as "gorgeous, confident, surprising" with a menu that "isn’t too long" and "filled with sturdy, noble dishes, whiffing mightily of the sea and the soil."
It continues: "All of it made with generosity and cheer, served fast by nimble waiters, with a long, if slightly eccentric, wine list. To bang out French dishes with this much fiddly detail and to do it to a full room is not easy. Yet all four courses came in under two hours, for about £75 a head, which in London terms is nothing.
"It’s not that this place was perfect, it’s that it was decidedly not perfect. A bit too much chat about the menus; the oeufs in the meurette not quite runny enough. But the point is: it didn’t matter. All of it came charmingly together. It felt relaxed, just right."
The review is then wrapped up with a pleasing five stars, the cherry on top of the cake.
It's a review only restaurants can dream of, and we can't think of a more deserving team - congratulations Bavette.
A new female-founded business has opened in Leeds and it’s a trinket-lover’s paradise
Clementine Hall
Lisa Angel has just opened inside the Victoria Gate and it’s an Aladdin’s Cave full of jewellery, prints, gifts and everything in between.
The best part? It’s a female-founded brand that has chosen our wonderful city for their first Yorkshire site. We absolutely don't blame them.
Founded in 2004 by Lisa hand making jewellery which she sold at craft fairs local to her Norfolk home, the business has gone from strength to strength every since.
The brand is now a recognised part of the British high street landscape, boasting seven other stores across Norfolk, Suffolk, and the Midlands.

Shoppers can expect beautifully handcrafted jewellery, unique trinkets and wonderful staff who are open to have a natter.
It's the perfect shop for when you don't exactly know what to buy that someone special, just pop in here and you'll be hit with a wave of inspiration immediately.
We could've genuinely spent a good hour in there and come out with a much lighter wallet.
Lisa herself spoke about the opening: “As an independent retailer, we are thrilled to launch in a destination with such a reputation as Victoria Leeds.
"We believe retail should remain grounded in inspiration and discovery, and we look forward to bringing just that to the vibrant city of Leeds, in our first store in the north.”

Managing Director James Moody said: “We're incredibly excited to be opening our first northern showcase store in such a prestigious location.
"Victoria Leeds represents exactly the kind of vibrant retail destination where we can bring the full Lisa Angel experience to new customers. This is a significant milestone for us as we continue to grow our retail presence."
