the local list: leeds best independent shops

Support the Leeds high street

Welcome back to The Local List.

Each week, we’re encouraging you to keep the UK’s high streets alive by buying from your local independent stores online.

This time we’re focusing on the joyful shops of Leeds.

From a kawaii hotspot to a one-stop shop for skaters, Leeds has all the shopping opportunities you could ever need.

Below, we round up some of our favourites, which you can support by shopping online now, then plan to visit once all the lockdowns are over.
