Social scenes
Sky Plaza is located in the heart of Leeds city centre - just a few minutes’ walk away from the Student Union and some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars and clubs.
Leeds boasts over 1,000 shops in a unique mix of stylish pedestrianised high streets, state-of-the-art shopping centres, Victorian arcades, historic buildings and yards, and Edwardian markets. Leeds city centre alone has upwards of 90 restaurants and cafés, 26 major hotels, four renowned theatres, 29 nightclubs, and over 180 bars.
What's around?
The new 13,500 capacity Leeds Arena is located across the road from the property. The venue will host some of the biggest names in music, comedy and theatre, and students staying at Sky Plaza are lucky enough to have this fantastic new venue right on their doorstep.
The property is just five minutes’ walk from Leeds Metropolitan University and University of Leeds campus, meaning whatever you’re studying you’ll always be close to your department. Also, you’ll have great access to the many music and entertainment stars who visit the Student’s Union every year.
If you’re looking to relax after lectures or at the weekend, take a short bus ride to Roundhay Park in Leeds, which is one of the biggest city parks in Europe. It has over 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens. Here you can enjoy a spot of sunbathing in the summer, or sledging on the famous Hill 60 in the winter.
Getting active
Sky Plaza has a fantastic gym onsite on the first floor of B Block that is open from 6.30 am till 10.30 pm. Residents can access the gym with their room card.
At both universities, you’ll find leading sports facilities for rugby, football, hockey, tennis and badminton amongst many others. These venues are generally available for students to use throughout the year, meaning you can always pop down for a quick game with your friends.
For fans of professional sports, the close proximity to Leeds United’s Elland Road football stadium means you can see the team play just a short bus ride away.
Rugby fans are spoilt for choice with both the Rugby League World Club Challenge winners; Leeds Rhinos and the Leeds Carnegie Rugby Union, both based at Headingley Carnegie Stadium. The tickets are great value, and the atmosphere is electric.
