Park Square, Leeds

Park Square, also known as traditional Georgian park, is one of four remarkable squares in the city. This park is surrounded by attractive Georgian buildings that are used as offices and law firms. It is very possible to see groups of students lying on the grass and chatting, families having fun or people sitting on the bench and reading a local newspaper or a book in a quiet environment.
