About Mabgate
Where to stay in Mabgate
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds sit minutes away. Nothing on Mabgate itself trades as a hotel quarter, so the choice runs between the Victoria Quarter end of the city centre, a short walk west past North Street, and the quieter blocks around St John the Evangelist's Church. Quebecs Hotel is the closest named lodging.
Regent Street traffic is worth checking before booking a room that faces it.
About Mabgate
What are the main landmarks in Mabgate?
St John the Evangelist's Church anchors the older end. Mill Hill Chapel and Oxford Place Church stand among the central blocks, while the civic collections run from Leeds City Museum through Leeds Art Gallery to the Henry Moore Institute beside it. Victoria Quarter glazes its arcades in tile and iron.
Waterloo House, Atlas House, Gresham House, Churchill House and Athenaeum House keep the commercial names of the surrounding streets, and Bridge Street Church and St Mary's Church sit further out. The Leeds Club shares that grain.
What is the history of Mabgate?
Mabgate began as a street name. The wider inner city area borrowed it, and Leeds City Council fixed what that area means in its Mabgate Development Framework of 2007, drawing the edges at North Street, Macaulay Street, Mushroom Street and the New York Road. South of the New York Road the street carries on a little further.
Administration puts it in the Burmantofts and Richmond Hill ward, while everything west of Regent Street counts as Leeds city centre.
Where is Mabgate?
Regent Street splits the area: west of it lies Leeds city centre, east of it the inner city blocks reaching Macaulay Street and Mushroom Street.
