One of the most compelling reasons for booking your next event in Leeds is its location. The City is set in the heart of the UK at the crossroads of two major road links the M1 and M62. It enjoys a half hourly direct train service from London with journey times of just over 2 hours and a main station located in the centre. On the outskirts of Leeds the International airport offers scheduled flights from almost 50 destinations.

Once you are here, the city centre is so compact you can easily walk from end to end in twenty minutes. Its cultural diversity, along with an array of entertainment, nightlife and shopping facilities, makes this an attractive ingredient for the demands of the conference delegate. The team at Royal Armouries International have a wealth of knowledge about the city and the Yorkshire region which I am sure you will

find invaluable in helping you to make your event a success.
