Kevin Grady says:

"There are four gems on a large scale - the Town Hall, Corn Exchange, Victoria Quarter and the Market.

"It is easy to get daily access to all but the Town Hall. Just go in and wonder at the Victorian splendour.

Georgian features
"Then for Georgian features look behind the Corn Exchange for the White Cloth Hall and Queen's Court on Briggate.

"If you fancy a drink why not revive yourself during the walk by going to Whitelocks, off Briggate and take in some classic workers' cottages in the same yard.

Modern buildings
"For modern buildings try the Prince's Exchange just behind the railway station or the Norwich Union building in City Square.

"Or go shopping in the Victoria Quarter.

Historic waterfront
"Have a look at Leeds' historic waterfront and the converted mill that is the award-winning hotel, 42 The Calls.

Demolish immediately
"Lastly, If I had two wishes for Leeds I would demolish two buildings immediately.
