Stretching from Moortown Corner to Roundhay Park, Street Lane is a hub for shopping and socialising. It boasts a myriad of shops, restaurants, bars and businesses serving the local community and beyond, and is an ideal alternative to city centre shopping.

This road has long been a place for communal activity. You’ll find BHH Synagogue, one of the largest Orthodox synagogues in the North of England. At Moortown Corner there’s Corner House, which has been one of the community’s longest standing landmarks and something of a social club. It has housed a cinema and ballroom; up until recently, it was also home to the Grosvenor Casino, a popular destination during its 40 years.

With services such as Winston’s Solicitors and Brosgill’s Opticians to home interior specialists Four Seasons Interiors and North Leeds Property Services, Street Lane attracts visitors from far and wide. If you’re looking for some pampering, Salon 45 and Beauty Rooms can give you that special look, whilst Street Lane Barbers is now open across the road, an extension of Darren Taylor’s established Chapel A business Man Alive. To unwind there are plenty of great eating and drinking options such as the famous Marlow’s Fish and Chip restaurant, and Curry Lounge above @ home bar.
There’s never many vacant shops in this area. Newly opened is Linley and Simpson, a specialist letting agency, just two doors down from Share Jewellers, stockists of the popular Pandora range and an ideal store for the perfect gift.

At the end of Street Lane is Roundhay Park, which has plenty of fun activities and facilities for all the family. You can enjoy the playground, ride around the park on a train – the Roundhay Park Land Train operates daily throughout summer until the end of October. It’s a picturesque setting for events such as this month’s Vision 5k run, lakeside walks and sports such as tennis and bowls. The park was bought by the city and opened as a park in 1872.

Within the park is Tropical World, officially renamed The Arnold and Marjorie Ziff Tropical World in July 2008 in honour of the Ziff family, who have donated generously to causes across Leeds over the last 30 years. Visitors come from miles to this wonderful attraction. Follow its walkways and experience a taste of the rainforest, complete with exotic and rare creatures. Marvel at the new meerkat enclosure, or tuck into tasty organic and fair trade produce at the recently redesigned Explorers Café.

On the edge of Roundhay Park is The Mansion, a classically-designed Grade II listed building. Refurbished in 2007, it currently hosts the Roundhay Park Visitor Centre, which features interactive exhibits about the park and its history. The Mansion’s restaurant and function rooms are set to reopen in late summer, and bookings are being taken for events.

Street Lane is easy to get to and well served by public transport, so it’s perfect for a shopping trip, a quest to revamp your home, or a bite to eat – pay the street a visit today and enjoy what it has to offer.
