Victoria
Quarter
is
one
half
of
Victoria
Leeds;
a
beautiful
shopping
district
recognised
as
the
premium
shopping
area
in
the
North
of
England.
Victoria
Quarter
was
originally
designed
by
architect
Frank
Matcham.
He
used
rich
marbles,
gilded
mosaics,
handsome
cast
and
wrought
iron,
as
well
as
carved
and
polished
mahogany,
to
create
two
streets,
two
arcades
and
the
Empire
Theatre
(now
Harvey
Nichols).
Today
Matcham’s
work
has
been
sympathetically
restored
to
its
original
splendour,
introducing
the
style
and
creativity
of
the
present.
Victoria
Quarter
brings
together
brands
such
as
Ted
Baker,
Vivienne
Westwood,
Coach,
Loake,
French
Connection,
Space
NK,
Hobbs
and
Jigsaw,
as
well
as
being
home
to
the
first
Harvey
Nichols
store
outside
London.
Victoria
Quarter
forms
part
of
Victoria
Leeds,
which
brings
together
Victoria
Quarter
and
Victoria
Gate
to
deliver
the
most
vibrant
new
shopping
scene
and
destination
in
Leeds
city
centre.
Victoria
Leeds
is
situated
at
the
heart
of
the
Leeds
shopping
area,
with
a
800+
space
car
park,
close
to
both
bus
and
railway
stations
and
taxi
ranks.
The
Grade
II*
listed
Victoria
Quarter,
known
as
'the
Knightsbridge
of
the
North',[3]
is
an
upmarket
network
of
interconnected
shopping
spaces
covering
three
blocks
between
Briggate
and
Vicar
Lane,
comprising
County
Arcade,
Cross
Arcade,
Queen
Victoria
Street
(turned
into
an
arcade
in
the
1989
redevelopment
scheme
through
the
pedestrianisation
and
glazing
over
of
the
street[4]
with
what
was
at
the
time
the
largest
secular
stained
glass
work
in
the
world)[5]
and
King
Edward
Street.
A
lot
of
unique
history
and
spectacular
art
work
right
next
to
you
available
on
display,
from
the
walls,
floors
and
cielings.
A
most
to
see
and
to
explore
when
you
are
in
Leeds.
