As you’re a little bit further out of the city centre, you can take advantage of the larger student houses in Burley. This is generally why students in Burley tend to frequent house parties over nights out.
Getting around Burley
If you’ve done your homework, you’ll realise that student properties in Burley are that bit further away from your Uni, so walking might be out of the question. Let’s breakdown you’re alternatives to getting about.
Car
As we’ve said, you’re more likely to have parking when you’re out near Burley, meaning you’ll be able to get yourself around if you’ve got a car, but remember parking around Uni can be a nightmare, so this might be more for your gym commute.
Cycle
If you’re based at the City Centre campus, you’re looking at roughly a 15-minute cycle in and out of campus. Just make sure you stick to the cycle lanes and take a bike lock.
Public Transport
You’ve got Burley Park train station right there, but you do need to factor in a 20-minute walk to campus from Leeds Railway Station. You can also grab a bus from Burley that’ll take around 20 minutes.
Walk
If you’re at Leeds Beckett, you might be close enough to walk in and out of the university. Otherwise, it’ll take you over 40 minutes to get to the other Campus’.

Pubs and social life
Burley’s got its fair share of pubs. However, if an atmosphere is what you’re looking for,hy you might have to venture a bit further. Here are Housr’s suggestions:
- Social clubs or members clubs: Being a little further from your university campus means you’re also that bit further from student-only clubs from the student union. With that in mind, here are a couple of other options you have in Burley.
- Brudenell Social Club: With a great reputation among students, they frequently host live music, events, art performances and bingo nights
- Cardigan Fields: A nearby leisure and entertainment hub, where you can enjoy bowling, trampoline parks, restaurants and a cinema.
