The Light

The Light shopping centre has a very interesting set-up architecturally. It is almost like three venues in one, with the courtyard level at the bottom being a fancy atrium with gastronomy and access to the hotel, the arcade level in the middle housing a variety of shops and the balcony levels at the top taking care of entertainment with the cinema and an arcade. The whole space feels quite open and bright thanks to the different levels and the glass roof. This loftiness can become a little bit of a problem on the balcony levels if you are, like me, prone to get queasy when you are high up and can see all the way down, with nothing but a bit of glass between you and the floors below.

The Light has a great selection of different places to visit - "The Light Leeds is the ultimate place to meet, eat, drink, shop, gym and be social no matter the time of day!" There are lifts to all floors, with braille too. All shops and venues are step-free, and there are numerous accessible toilets.
