Leeds Free Parking??

A question about : Leeds Free Parking??

I am going shopping in Leeds does anybody know if there is any free parking?

Best answers:

• Free parking in Leeds.....haha. If there is its miles away from the centre
• You could always park at the White Rose Centre and get the bus into town.
• Leeds has zero free parking. The city is crying out for a park and ride scheme.
• parking is a night mare! We ended up in an NCP style one which cost a fortune! get the bus/train
• Hyde Park Corner/Woodhouse Moor, free parking.....15 min walk into town or frequent bus service
• There's Warner Village on Cardigan Road. Last time I parked there you didn't need a ticket or anything. It's a bit of a walk but a very short bus ride to the centre of town from there.
  And you could always stop at the sheesh mahal for a bite to eat before you go home! (My favourite restaurant!)
• If you are coming into Leeds to shop you can afford to pay for parking !
  Leeds apart from the market isnt a cheap place to shop any more ie with Harvey Nicks etc in the city . Go to the councils car parks look here
  www.leeds.gov.uk and follow the links for visiting
• Just thinking id go to York personally myself rather than battle through Leeds they have cracking park n ride in place .
• How about getting one of these

  As far as i know you can go right out to the edge of the green zone
• Not only no free parking, but a hideous 'Loop' which you can't find your way out of, and a mentality of 'every man for himself' such as you might find in Paris or Naples! I drove to Leeds once, never again. Always the train for me now.
• mmm i have just moved here newleaf , the wife is from Leeds and i understand what you mean ! We prefer to go to Wakefield or Cass ...argh but hang on neither of those have a LUSH SHOP ! lol
• Hi
  You could park in the University.Not free, but it used to be quite a lot cheaper. The best place that we park these days is in china town near the markets you might have to drive around a few times
• It's free to park in the university at weekends - drive in the entrance by the Parkinson building, turn left and keep going round until you see a huge car park with lots of trees.
  For the other side of Leeds park for free at the top end of St. Mary's Road, outside Emmaus.
  If there's no space in St. Mary's Road then the real safest car park in Leeds is Emmaus Leeds car park - always someone on duty to watch your car, Ј1 for an hour, Ј3 all day, AND if you spend in the fantastic second-hand furniture shop and nice cafe and get a receipt then you get that taken off your parking. If we park there then we often go in and buy Ј3 worth of second hand books, or have a sandwich, as you might as well!
  Lovely lovely people in there too.

• Hiya A Lancashire Lad,
  I'm a Cas Lass and can't see what the appeal is for people to come here shopping. Admitted it is getting better now the market has moved etc but it's still full of charity shops and takeaways!! Hopefully when the redevelopment is complete it will be like it was years ago.

  PS would like to say that the people are really friendly though.
• If you go to Leeds on a Sunday, it's free in the big car park under the 'dark arches' below the railway station. And i think it's quite a bit cheaper than most of the car parks through the week as well.
  If you want a little excercise you could try the Crown Point retail park - free to park and about 15 minutes walk into the city centre.
  Hope that helps

  Where abouts is this? I work at Civic Hall and currently pay Ј6.80 a day to park at Woodhouse Lane Multistorey, so much cheaper!!!
  Cheers!
• Or the markets carpark is also free on a sunday it's near the police station, might have trouble finding a spot though. One of the reasons I got to Leeds is for Lush too so I'm not alone.
