FR:
Leeds [liːdz] est une ville britannique dans la région du Yorkshire-et-Humber, dont elle est le chef-lieu. Elle est située à l'est de la chaîne des Pennines, sur la rivière Aire. C'est la troisième ville d'Angleterre. Selon le recensement 2001, la partie urbaine de la ville a 429 242 habitants et son agglomération 716 513. Ses limites incluent cependant des zones détachées de la ville elle-même. L'agglomération urbaine de Leeds compte 1,88 million d'habitants. L'agglomération se trouve près du carrefour de deux grandes autoroutes britanniques, la M62, la transpennine, et la M1, la première liaison autoroutière nord-sud. Elle est à 2 h 30 de Londres en train par voie de la ligne ferroviaire principale de l'est, et sera reliée à la seconde LGV britannique, actuellement en projet. Sa gare est la troisième plus utilisée en dehors de la capitale. La ville partage un aéroport international avec sa ville sœur, Bradford. Leeds est cependant l'une des villes européennes les plus dépendantes de la voiture, avec des embouteillages tellement importants qu'ils ralentissent l'économie locale. Leeds a connu son essor aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, grâce aux métiers de laine, et plus tard à l'époque victorienne, mais les industries lourde et textile ont cédé la place à l'industrie légère, au commerce et aux services (surtout dans les domaines légaux, financiers et d'assurance). Elle est également une ville étudiante avec deux hautes écoles principales – l'Université de Leeds et Leeds Beckett.

LNER London North Eastern Railway First-Class Train Journey Reviews 2019: Leeds / London / Edinburgh
Reviews of four First Class train journeys on LNER trains in May and June, 2019.
I've just added a new film to my Railways: British Railways playlist, here: of four first class train journeys on LNER trains.
The journeys are as follows: Leeds to London Kings Cross on an Intercity 225 morning breakfast service; London Kings Cross to Leeds on an Azuma evening dinner service; Leeds to Edinburgh on an Intercity 125 morning breakfast service; Edinburgh to York on an Intercity 225 evening dinner service.
The film shows the seating, carriage layout, menus, food, drinks, announcements, and scenery along the way.
LNER First Class is probably the best first class of any British train operating company. Both breakfast and evening services have good quality food offerings and the evening services also have complimentary alcoholic drinks. The quality of the service did differ though, I found the breakfast service from Leeds to Edinburgh to be better than the breakfast service from Leeds to London. The evening service from London to Leeds was better than the evening service from Edinburgh to York. There were inconsistencies including missing dessert, toast and a menu.
Out of the three types of train I travelled on, I preferred the Intercity 225 in terms of journey comfort. The seats on this train and the Intercity 125 were extremely comfortable. The seats on the Azuma were less comfortable, and whilst the Azuma does give a very smooth ride, my back was aching after a journey from London to Leeds. The Intercity 225 was a smooth journey also, but the Intercity 125 had more movement and less good stabilisation in the carriage. There were also excessive vibrations on the Intercity 125 when another passed in the opposite direction.
The Azuma will eventually replace all other trains operated by LNER, I do hope that the seats on these trains will eventually be upgraded to the types of seats on the older Intercity trains. The Azuma service was excellent.

Secrets of Leeds Castle Documentary
Dan Jones is in the southeast of the country, at an idyllic castle owned once by six medieval Queens and an American heiress: Leeds Castle. He explores why Leeds Castle is nicknamed the Ladies Castle and through the castle's history discovers that it isn't quite as genteel as it sounds.
Leeds Castle was originally the site of a royal Saxon family's manor. It was a Norman stronghold before becoming a Royal palace, home for 300 years to the Kings and Queens of England. It was the private property of six medieval queens; a palace of Henry VIII; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; and an elegant 20th-century retreat for the rich and famous. It has been besieged, imprisoned 'witches and witnessed a clandestine love affair that sparked the Tudor dynasty.
In 1139 the castle had its first encounter with royal politics when, held by Empress Matilda's supporters, it was besieged by King Stephen. The castle fell and the King took control of it. Jones visits a royal bath house at Leeds Castle built by Edward II for Queen Eleanor and meets an historian who gives him insight into medieval hygiene and bathing habits.
Jones also meets a Food Historian at Hampton Court Palace who shows him what Henry VIII and his court would have eaten at the famous meeting with Francis I in France called the Field of the Cloth of Gold. He samples some delicious spit roasted meats as well as more unusual Tudor sweets.
In the 20th century Leeds Castle was bought by Lady Baillie, who completely restored the fabric and structure of the castle. Lady Baillie lived longer at Leeds Castle than any other owner in history and made it one of the great houses of England. It became a center of lavish hospitality for leading politicians, ambassadors, international royalty and film stars.
