STATION AREA, GRANARY WHARF:
- Leeds Central Station, City Square, Old Post Office, Queens Hotel, Park Plaza, Bridgewater Place, Candle House, Park Row, River Aire

The historic Central Station is large, but its entrance, actually on a side street, looks pretty weak and dull.
Skyscrapers and highrises have been built in Leeds recently in the Granary Wharf area, just south of River Aire, behind the railway station. Here you find the 30-storey, 110m tall Bridgewater Place (137m to the antenna), the tallest building in Leeds since 2007. It is dubbed "the Dalek" building because of its shape, resembling Doctor Who's enemies. Candle House is a 22-storey red circular landmark highrise from 2009. Hilton Hotel and Doubletree Hotel are also situated in Granary Wharf, on the backside of the station.
