Victoria Leeds

Compared with last year’s Monopoly themed event, this year is clearly much weaker! Although the installations are grand and dazzling, very attractive for photo taking and social media, the activity of searching for hidden playing cards within the installations is just a decent parent-child activity. However, the staff merely stood around chatting, offering no guidance or introductions, and some landmarks didn’t even have staff present. The main character, Alice, was nowhere to be seen; the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit just rushed past laughing, with no intention of stopping to take photos with participants. Last year, staff were dressed in gorgeous costumes, but this year they only wore printed t-shirts. In the end, the art installations became nothing more than photo backdrops.

A great space, filled with shops and a restaurant. Sad to see empty spaces to rent. There is a great Alice in Wonderland set up for the kids. I didn’t see the staff this time around but have seen them previously, all dressed up in theme interacting with the kids.

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. Absolutely loved the place, very modern and quiet. Loved the modern open ceiling design. Huge John Lewis department store inside. Fantastic, would definitely go back when I’m in Leeds again. A great shopping centre really well laid out and very clean pretty much every major shop that you would need including some lovely independents too.

I recently visited Victoria Leeds, and it was a fantastic shopping experience! The centre beautifully combines historic charm with modern design, highlighted by its stunning stained-glass canopy and elegant arcades. It offers a wide variety of shops, from luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Mulberry to popular high-street stores such as John Lewis. The dining options are excellent, with places like The Ivy providing a perfect spot to relax after shopping. The staff across the centre were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere felt lively yet welcoming. Whether you’re looking to shop, dine, or just enjoy the architecture, Victoria Leeds is definitely worth a visit.
