There are many reasons to love Leeds. We could go on forever about how much we love it, but we’ll give voice to the locals and visitors alike to share an appreciation of the great northern powerhouse via the medium of Twitter. We’ve selected 10 of our favourite tweets about our mutual love affair with Leeds, Leeds, Leeds. ‘ere:

The pubs are proper good

The pubs in Leeds aren’t just your regular pubs. They’re proper pubs. With proper pub grub. And proper good beer. Just like our Becky experienced in the Adelphi.  

At the Adelphi for tea. Anyone staying over in Leeds needs to try this place out. Old style pub, real ale and lush food #LoveLeeds

It looks great even on a cloudy day

Leeds isn’t the Caribbean, we know that, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a sight for sore eyes even when the weather is bad. Tommy took a shining to the town hall here and we can see why.  

@VisitLeeds Leeds looking great today! @BBCLeeds @LeedsCC_News #LoveLeeds pic.twitter.com/dFLkVeoyrw — Thomas (Mr Thomas) (@TommyYorkshire) May 17, 2016

You can play shuffleboard in the basement of a pub

One of our favourite new bars in Leeds has the delightful allure of three 22ft shuffleboards downstairs. It aptly goes by the name of Shuffledog, owned by BrewDog, and it looks like Jade loves it just as much as we do.  

Well shuffleboard is my new found love! #loveleeds @JessWright4 #comebackwrighty
