We asked Yorkshire Evening Post readers which buildings in the city look their best when the clouds part - despite me jinxing the weather, it feels like this Friday morning...
While some of you went for the classic architectural gems that define our skyline, a very vocal majority (mostly wearing white, yellow, and blue) had only one ‘shrine’ in mind.
From the historic halls of the University to the pubs where the beer gardens are currently calling our names, here are the buildings you think shine brightest in the Leeds sun.
Whether you're looking for a refined glimpse of Victorian history or just a reliable spot to bask in the glow of our city's sporting heritage, there is something for every eye on this list.
This weekend, don’t be confined to the kitchen or settle for a view of the garden fence - instead, why not check out our readers’ picks of nine fantastic landmarks across the city that truly come alive when the sun hits the stone?
7. The Corn Exchange
While the outside is impressive, the real magic happens inside. The massive domed glass roof acts like a giant greenhouse, flooding the independent shops and cafes with natural light. It’s one of the few places where the building looks just as good inside as it does out. | James Hardisty
8. Leeds City Museum
Formerly the Mechanics Institute, this building was praised for its intricate stonework. It’s a point of pride for many, including those whose family history is literally housed within its walls. | James Hardisty
9. St George’s Crypt
A more atmospheric shout-out from the comments, St George’s Crypt is a beautiful piece of Leeds history. Nestled below St George's Church, its rugged stonework and quiet presence provide a striking contrast to the modern glass buildings nearby. | St George’s Crypt
