Parking in Leeds is something a lot of people need to think about. Whether it be where to park if you're heading to work, parking for events and gigs or just living in the city itself.
Leeds has a great number of car parks, including privately owned and Council spaces. Prices vary depending on who owns them, as well as the amount of time you can park and how secure the facility is.
Residents in Leeds can face serious fines for parking illegally, with traffic wardens often being vigilant and leaving vehicles with the dreaded yellow stickers. LeedsLive has put together a list of car parks across the city, ranking them from the cheapest to the most expensive.
