The Queens Guide to Mindful Travel

At The Queens, we’re proud to be right at the heart of Leeds. Whether you’re joining us for a conference, event, or a weekend away, there are plenty of ways to be more mindful of our planet while still enjoying every moment of your stay. Here are our top tips:

1. Choose rail over road 🚂
Arriving by train is easy at The Queens, thanks to our private entrance directly into Leeds Station. Even better, all delegates attending events at The Queens can enjoy 25% OFF rail travel on the LNER London to Edinburgh line when commuting to and from Leeds.

2. Bring a reusable water bottle and coffee cup 💧
Stay hydrated on the go while cutting down on single-use plastic. Many places across Leeds, including The Queens, are more than happy to refill bottles with water or serve your morning coffee into your reusable cup.

3. Walk and explore🚶
Our central location means nearly all of Leeds’ shops, galleries, restaurants, and attractions are just a short stroll away. Swap taxis for walking shoes and soak up the city atmosphere.

4. Make the most of public transport 🚲
When you’re heading a little further afield, Leeds has excellent transport links, from buses and trains to cycle hire. In fact, you’ll find a Leeds City Bikes hub right outside The Queens in City Square.

5. Reduce unnecessary energy and water use during your stay 💡
Simple habits like turning off lights, unplugging devices, and reusing towels during your visit all help reduce energy and water use.

At The Queens, we believe little changes can make a big difference. With a few thoughtful choices, your journey to Leeds can be both memorable and mindful.
