Where to stay in Woodhouse
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Woodhouse trades on the walk in. The city centre of Leeds is close and the University of Leeds is closer still, which makes Blenheim Terrace and Blackman Lane a practical base for anyone here for a term, a conference or a graduation. Headingley Lane carries the other edge.
Beds here are residential rather than commercial, so the centre stays the fallback when nothing near Woodhouse Cliff is free.
