Located in the same building as Leeds Central Library and Leeds Art Gallery, this space originally functioned as a reading room for the library. High ceilings and plenty of light create a spacious, airy environment, whilst grand marble columns, thousands of colourful tiles and gold details on the ceiling make the space feel more like a room in a palace than one of Leeds’ coffee shops."

I came back again a couple of weeks later with my new tripod (best purchase!!!) to photograph them. In Spring the rhododendrons are in full bloom in this peaceful place."
