Explore what the vibrant commercial hub of Street Lane has to offer.
Spanning 3,187m and stretching all the way from Moortown to Roundhay, Street Lane is a bustling hub of commerce and leisure for north Leeds. The area has an average property value of £329,139 according to Rightmove estate agents, a much sought-after area for families and young professionals. Right beside the popular Roundhay attraction Tropical World, housing exotic animals and plant life from all around the globe, and only a short walk from Roundhay Park, the area has a plethora of exclusive shops, restaurants, cafés and professional services.
Roundhay Residents Association, a group dedicated to fostering the sense of community in the area, will be holding a festive street party on the Street Lane parade. Set to take place on 5th December, the event will include live music, stalls, face painting, arts and crafts, mulled wine, and as promised by the group’s Facebook page a “mountain of mince pies”.
Local agents Fowler and Powell will be there raising money for local charity PhysCap. Other businesses include Bloom Bakers and Savvy Bakers selling confectionary treats, and Aanya with some scrumptious Indian street food. In an area made up of so many unique businesses, it’s difficult to choose which ones to spotlight, but some new businesses have popped up recently!

Feel Electric
Having opened up on Street Lane in August this year, Feel Electric is a new breed of gym, allowing you to maximise your workout with Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS). EMS activates all of the major muscle groups in your body, improving your metabolism and helping to firm and tone your body. The gym provides clothes powered by the latest Bodytec equipment which sends low frequency electrical impulses to your muscles, forcing them to contract and become stronger. Just 20 minutes of EMS training will help you achieve similar results to a two-hour high intensity impact training session.
Roundhay Perk
This new café opening in January is owned by mother and daughter duo Kairen Kukalizch-Cobb and Siobhan Pinder and is the product of a lifelong dream for Kairen, who’s had her eye on 71 Street Lane as a premises for quite some time. When Siobhan agreed to the venture, the property became available just a week later and the duo knew it was meant to be. Roundhay Park will keep things local, serving sweet treats made on-site, using bread from Street Lane Bakery, and even using coffee beans roasted in Leeds. Once the café is up and running the pair also plan to host events such as speed dating evenings and gin tastings.
