City Square is a paved area north of Leeds railway station at the junction of Park Row to the east and Wellington Street to the south. It is a triangular area where six roads meet: Infirmary Street and Park Row to the north, Boar Lane and Bishopsgate Street to the south-east, and Quebec Street and Wellington Street to the south-west. The only building with a direct frontage is the former General Post Office, on the north-west side.

An unassuming location and exterior hide an elegant baroque interior, built for the merchant class by subscription and donation so they could worship well away from the lower working classes of the city. The Iconic spire of Holy Trinity has dominated the skyline of the city for hundreds of years and was restored in 2006/7.
A stunning building built in an ornate Middle Eastern style, with minarets, complex stone carvings, and colored tiles on the facade.
A lovely Georgian square reminiscent of Dublin, and is often an overlooked haven of tranquility in the city centre. (Hard to find without a map)
Small sculpture gallery and library.
Leeds City Art Gallery
The world of modern and classical art is at your disposal here in Leeds. It has a small but interesting range of exhibits, plus an ornately-tiled cafe, and is a great place to kill half an hour or more. It is co-joined with the Henry Moore Institute, which exhibits sculpture. Free.
