On foot The flat walk from along wide pavements takes 7-12 minutes. 1. Leave the Railway Station via the double doors, with the Journeys Friend and Paperchase shops on your left (Exit 1 City Centre). 2. Cross over the road using the pedestrian crossing and enter the round stairway leading from the station to Neville Street. 3. Go down the steps and at the bottom turn sharp right, to pass through the Neville Street Tunnel. 4. Walk past the Hilton Hotel, go over Victoria Bridge and take the next right into Water Lane, just before the Bridgewater Place skyscraper. Keep following this road for approximately 200m. 5. Just after Water Lane forks left, you’ll pass the Midnight Bell pub on the left. Turn left through the archway next to the pub into Foundry Square and we are located on the right hand side.

To avoid the stairs, on leaving the station turn left and follow New Station Street until reaching the pedestrian crossing. Cross the road at the crossing and turn right into Bishopgate Street. Follow this around until it becomes Neville Street and you enter Neville Street Tunnel. Follow the instructions above from 4. onwards.

Walkit.com can also provide a route map for walking between any two points in Leeds. By bicycle 1. From the main Railway station exit, turn left to follow New Station Street. 2. At the traffic lights, turn left into Wellington Street. 3. Follow the left hand lane into Aire Street and keep following, through a set of traffic lights (to become Whitehall Road). 4. Follow Whitehall Road until you cross the river and then turn left into Globe Road. 5. As you pass the Holbeck Globe Road car park on your right, turn right into Water Lane. The Midnight Bell pub will be on your left almost immediately and look for the archway next to the pub.

There are bicycle racks located to the right of our main entrance, just through the archway and Welcome to Yorkshire has shower facilities. For further information on cycling in and around Leeds, see Cycling information.
