    Victoria Shopping Centre is an asset to Leeds. Located right in the city centre with bus station and other transportation facilities within the reach. Very thoughtfully designed to preserve the Victorian Arcade and the modern section where the John Lewis is situated is very aesthetically appealing. Architecture is highly commendable! This place is luxurious and offers several high end brands. Harvey Nichols coffee shop is recommended. Even the public seating facilities offered itself is from top brands. A beautiful 'indoor' shopping and walking space especially during rainy days. Highly recommended.

    On my favourite places in Leeds especially around Christmas time. The architecture of the building is stunning. Everything seems elegantly designed. Even the recycle bins are designed in a way that they blend seamlessly with the rest of the building. Lovely combination of colours. You can find many shops next to the entrance and then at the far end is the entrance to the John Lewis store. Great selection of stores. A great place for a quick snack or coffee for lunch break after work or even on a day out with the family. The decoration is beautiful and you really feel something different once you get in. Masterpiece of modern designing

    Victoria Leeds I am to understand is a shopping and leisure area in the city centre. It has some of the best retail architecture you could ever find. I loved the covoured arcades that I can image are very welcome in some of our wet and cold weather although it was beautiful and sunny when I visited. It goes to show that we must keep the old buildings and renovate them as Leeds have done with their city centre. I also noticed that the whole area looked remarkably clean and neat for a city center. Definitely a must visit if you are looking for a remarkable experience.

    Love the design and architecture of this shopping mall. Should be one of the most elegant shopping mall in Leeds with good cafe and shops. Worth a visit

    What an amazing market next door. The food stalls and smell take you to another continent. Well worth a visit but parking is not cheap, I paid £12 for 6hrs at the multi-storey car park?? The market stall holders are so friendly with big welcoming grinds, and the local food stalls are very very cheap.

    Victoria Leeds - ★★★★☆ Victoria Leeds is a stunning blend of old-world charm and modern style, where historical architecture meets sleek high-end shopping. A visit here offers a delightful stroll through its two parts - Victoria Quarter with its elegant arcades, and Victoria Gate, a more recent addition with its distinctive modern design. It's almost as if stepping into a time capsule with a twist, where the past and present harmoniously blend together. The array of stores is diverse, with high-end retailers such as Louis Vuitton, Harvey Nichols, and Jo Malone, mingling with more accessible brands like & Other Stories. Whether you're looking to splurge or simply window shop, Victoria Leeds has something to cater to everyone's tastes. Dining options are equally varied, from the elegance of Issho Rooftop Restaurant & Bar to more casual, yet equally enjoyable eateries. After a day of shopping, these spots provide the perfect respite to sit back and enjoy a good meal. The place is usually kept clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The staff at the shops and eateries are generally friendly, though the service can vary. While Victoria Leeds is mostly an indoor space, it lacks ample seating areas. More spots to rest would certainly enhance the overall visitor experience, especially during busier times. Overall, Victoria Leeds is more than just a shopping destination. It's a space where architecture, history, and retail converge to provide a unique experience, making it a must-visit when in Leeds. It garners a well-deserved four stars.

    Magnificent building with an air of decadence. Bright, spacious and airy. I can't comment on the shopping as I've only had coffees in the space, but it's an indoor oasis if the weather turns against you. A real feat of engineering, comfort and design! Highly recommended if you enjoy visiting impressive buildings.

    This place is beautiful, got all stores in it, I got to Leeds first time,and I didn't go anywhere at all, parked, shopped, ate in one place and drove off!

  • 5/5 Jane L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place. We were only making a fleeting visit (to a fantastic walk in covid cmtresting centre for our holidays) but we will definitely return.

  • 4/5 David L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very attractive interior, parking is plentiful in the attached multi storey. We accessed it via John Lewis which is a fine department store. The place has an upmarket feel with fairly premium shops. If this is what you want it's the place for you. Centrally located. Looked great at Christmas and not quite the characterless pit of despair I anticipated.

  • 5/5 Laura W. 4 months ago on Google
    It's a beautiful shopping arcade with many classy and up-market shops in it. The Xmas decorations inside and outside are just lovely!

  • 4/5 Raja A K. 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely shopping centre with great shops and facilities. Top brands can be found here. Enough seating to take the weight off your feet and at Christmas it’s always nicely decorated.

  • 4/5 Charm T. 1 year ago on Google
    It was lovely to see the art of the old times still preserved up to this moment. I love that they have here high end stores in 1 place. I was really mesmerized by the ceilings. The place was clean and smells nice too.

  • 5/5 Janet C. 3 months ago on Google New
    A trip to Leeds we found the shopping Arcades with lots of independent stores. These places are beautiful inside. I would recommend this place for a step back in time, a beautiful Victorian building.

  • 5/5 Melanie G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Beautiful shopping centre in Leeds with great shops and a lot of designer shops, I could spend a fortune! I went just after Christmas, so the decorations were still up and very classy.

  • 4/5 Daniel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Victoria Leeds is the 'new' shopping Mall/Centre located over the road from Leeds City Markets. A lot of people on here are reviewing the Victorian Quarter which is the old shopping Arcade which is a few miles away from here. Victoria Leeds has very upmarket and top end type shops meaning that it is high class but not to everyone's tastes. The building itself is stunning inside and out and very clean and well organised. Toilets are free of charge and very luxurious, yet the stupid mirrored doors on the Toilet cubicles confuse everyone who goes in.

  • 5/5 neil p. 2 years ago on Google
    Plenty of spaces right in the heart of the city on a weekday morning. Check the website for tariffs. If you don't want the tedium of finding a space in the busier car parks or on the street Victoria Gate is always reliable in my experience...PS if you are visiting JL you can be in and out and on the road out of town in 2 minutes! The ticket machine is right outside the store! Plenty of places for coffee and access to the market too!

  • 4/5 Michael W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sprawling shopping centre with loads of variety. Accessible from every part of the centre, the NCP car park is not connected to the building however it is a short walk. Only negative is the cold during winter as this is a "open top" mall. It has a roof but this is lifted slightly allowing the cloud wind and weather through. Guards and staff seem happy. The toilets are tired and need repair, the food court has good food but the chains like Rosa Thai is much better.

  • 4/5 M S. 1 year ago on Google
    Always worth a visit for John Lewis and the ice cream coffee from facility near entrance doors. Limited seating available but quality of drinks and ice cream excellent. Ice cream more Italian than American style. This visit men's jumpers were the winners for our money - but wish most buyers appreciated natural fabrics win over man made and cost.

  • 4/5 Leonidas R. 1 year ago on Google
    The mall was a visual treat with its elegant decor and ambience. It offered a wide range of high-end storesthat were a shoppers delight. The malls aesthetic was great l, with beautiful lighting and attention to detail. Despite the emphasis on luxury, it still managed to cater to the needs of all kinds of shopping, dinning, etc.

  • 5/5 Ieva S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to shop. The staff throughout were very helpful. A special thank you to Siraj who I understand is part of the team. His approach is very professional and commendable. Most certainly recommend.

  • 5/5 Farzana T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 John K. 3 years ago on Google
    A very beautiful attractive shopping area with completely unique architectural design, potentially listed

  • 5/5 Gav J. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb car parking with plenty of space unlike other city car parks. The selection of shops is great although they are mostly luxury with a premium on prices. However - this is still a great place to visit as being centrally located, even if not shopping here there is plenty others to visit.

  • 5/5 David W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic array of independent stores mixed with national brands gives a great shopping experience. The arcade is a work of art and well worth visiting just to see the decor.

  • 5/5 Phil E. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little farm shop, cafe has good views. Tasty bacon sarnies, although took a while to arrive, we had finished our cups of tea before they arrived. Would def go again

  • 5/5 Julie Burnharbour C. 2 years ago on Google

    Went to have a PCR Test, easy to find, very friendly and helpful staff, the Victoria is a great place to shop.

  • 5/5 Marie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Shopping is obviously expensive as all the brand names are there. But definitely worth a stroll for the amazing design and architecture of the mall!

  • 4/5 Grace Florence S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Chris S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the victorian centre of Leeds a beautiful victorian arcade with shops such as John Lewis among others. And cafes if you fancy a cuppa. Also a nice place to sit down and relax please visit it it's worth the visit

  • 5/5 Sofia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't miss coffee by Rabbit Hole and just the yummiest of snacks. Moreover the perfect example of collaboration between businesses in Leeds

  • 4/5 Jan D. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely shopping experience with stand alone individual shops and appears upmarket. Now the high street has failed in more local shopping precincts near where I live, this is the best option for choice. It's a bustling city. Loads of places to have a coffee, meal etc. If it rains there are plenty places to shop undercover. I have always been put off going in the past as parking was a nightmare, however that has all changed now. If going to be in Leeds for several hours, park and ride is now available and would recommend this as town centre carparks are very expensive and spaces limited. For example John Lewis carpark is £3 per hour peak time. If you look at park and ride website, it gives you price list and frequency of buses. It's better to travel in a group of 5 for example as the price of travel is much cheaper. Off peak rates also available.

  • 5/5 Mohanish C. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge place, beautiful decoration on the occasion on Christmas.. I loved this place..

  • 4/5 Maha El N. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the luxurious over-the-topness of Victoria Gate with its lights and opulent decor. It has two of my favorite shops (John Lewis and Anthropologie) but everything else is just a bit (in fact, startlingly) out of my price range. All very designer and chichi. But it is fun to just have a wander in the main mall. Lovely restaurants with very nice cocktails and views on the top floor. Not too expensive parking garage.

  • 5/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a really lovely shopping arcade. High quality shops with designer brands. Very high class. A wide range of clothing and shoe shops and even a barbers. The Ivy restaurant is also in here. Well worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Tracy S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this sector in Leeds City Centre. The Victoria is a particularly lovely Victorian arcade. It is full of expensive shops, but you can window shop. This arcade (and others) makes Leeds city centre unique and characterful - not just a carbon copy of other city centres. You get a sense of history and authenticity.

  • 5/5 Joe B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Victoria Quarter is a lovely set of arcades, mostly covered. Really worth walking through but , by and large, the shops are only of interest if you really care about premium brands and have plenty of money.

  • 5/5 aidan b. 1 year ago on Google
    This is where the posh people shop. And people like me get followed by security. Although some nice shiny things to spend your money on. (Bring lots lol)

  • 4/5 IMRAN GHAUREE (. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoy the experience of visiting a wonderful well preserved old amongst the new modern shops, stores to lager glassed front displays to a smaller established store. Relaxed atmosphere and welcoming experience

  • 5/5 Paul P. 2 years ago on Google
    A relatively.small shopping centre that has a feel of exclusivity to it reminiscent of something that may have been found in the 1920s. It's a really nice experience with higher end shops and restaurants. My personal favorite John Lewis is here too so what is there not to like!!
