No on street parking.

The previously referred to on-street parking now seems to be a taxi rank. I referred to Leeds.gov to check their restrictions on parking there and found none. Got back to my car and found a parking ticket, despite having clearly displayed my blue badge. I am in the process of appealing the ticket. Access within the corn exchange for a disabled non-wheelchair user is difficult. There are no toilets on the level on which you enter. The one lift is on the opposite side of the balcony to the upstairs toilets. I never did find the basement toilets. I would also imagine that the balcony is very tight for wheelchairs.

Beautiful building but not very accessible

Beautiful building with lovely (but expensive) shops and cafes inside. Delicious houmous and pitta place, old camera shop with Polaroid film, and cool tattoo/piercing place and a number of clothes shops. Unfortunately for wheelchair access there is a notice on the door at the side saying that you have to ring a number to get someone to come unlock the door. If you can get up the three steps to the entrance there is a lift inside.

Worth a visit if you can get in

The Corn Exchange is an iconic Leeds building, so I was disappointed by the issues around accessibility. It's got a few great shops and eateries so I'd always recommend anyone to pop in, if they can!
