Little London, Leeds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Little London, along with its adjacent areas Lovell Park and Blenheim, is an area of 1960s high-rise and maisonette council housing in inner-city north Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, situated between the city centre and Sheepscar. It has a sizeable Afro-Caribbean population, and suffers similar social problems as other areas like it across the country.

It is home to a small population of Students, althuogh nowhere near as many as the more popular student areas such as Headingley or Hyde Park.

It has a brand new Children's Centre called 'Little London Children's Centre' designed by Leeds Architects Bauman Lyons.

Little London will almost certainly become swallowed up by the ever expanding city centre. There are flats going up all around the area and there are plans in place to demolish the area surrounding Carlton Barracks to make way for more flats.
