There is a never-ending list of things to do and see in this area of Leeds, from dining out at some award-winning independent restaurants and enjoying a pint at a local boozer to browsing a monthly market.
It was actually named one of the top ten places to live in the north of England by the Sunday Times a few years ago, albeit losing out to Ilkley for the top spot.
The judges called it their “favourite corner of Leeds” before commending the high street packed with independent businesses such as De Baga, George and Joseph Cheesemongers and the Little Bookshop.
Here is the ultimate guide to Chapel Allerton with all the things you need to do, places you need to see and restaurants and bars you need to visit when in the Leeds suburb.

11. Sukhothai
Leeds may be obsessed with Thai food now but when Ban Kaewkraikhot opened Sukhothai in 2002, it was something new to the city. The Chapel Allerton site, which sits in the heart of the community, has established itself over the years as the top place for Pad Thai, green curry and mango sticky rice - and more. | Jonathan Gawthorpe Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
12. NAIL X
If you have an event coming up, or just want to pamper yourself, head down to Leeds’ “first luxury nail bar” located on Harrogate Road. Its owner Kien Huang has more than seven years experience in the field, first picking up part-time shifts as a student before eventually leaving university to work full-time. | Tony Johnson Photo: Tony Johnson
