Just had a walk round town this morning

depressing doesn’t come into it

there’s hardly any decent shops

The same across England sadly I went into Kingston Upon Thames this week a fairly affluent area it was awful I thought I was in a poor Northern Town.

Same in Leeds really - loads of boarded up shops. Only went in Zara and Decathlon
 
Don't know about Leeds but York must benefit from more tourists than Hull, it's also more compact so a bit easier for it to look busy.

York is in the top few cities in the UK for international tourists and will get a lot of UK tourists with the National Railway Centre, Yorvik Centre and the walled part of the city. Leeds won't get many foreign tourists but the Armouries, a good day out, and festivals at Roundhay Park and the shopping attract quite a few.
