Sick and tired of the library? Here are six study spots in Leeds you haven’t thought of

Let’s be real—finding the perfect place to study is hard, especially when your bed is calling your name and Netflix is just one click away. But fear not, because Leeds has a whole host of spots that make studying feel almost fun.

Whether you’re looking for quiet corners or a bit of background hustle to keep you going, we’ve rounded up the best spots to help you conquer those deadlines (or at least procrastinate in style).

Wetherspoons

A great budget-friendly option for those last-minute cramming sessions. With free Wi-Fi and £1.20 unlimited coffee to get you through, it’s a favourite among students needing a casual space to focus. You’ll always find people on their laptops, so you’re not alone!

Plus, there’s no judgment if you need a quick pint or G&T to calm those pre-assessment nerves.

Student Union

Everyone knows that the Union is a cosy campus gem. It’s the perfect go-to between lectures with access to Student Union perks such as Co-op, Humpit and Old Bar for drinks, pool, and comfort food.

However, a hack you may not be taking advantage of is Common Ground’s pastries for £1 when bought with a hot drink. Thank us later.

Black Sheep Coffee

£2 coffee with UNiDays every Monday. Need we say more?

A must-have to kick off the week with a caffeine boost and study session in the city centre, this spot fits the student budget and cures the hangover after a long weekend.

Leeds Art Gallery Café

Need some zen vibes to get through a mountain of work? For a serene, artsy atmosphere, this hangout offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city centre.
