The City of Leeds is a metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire in northern England, stretching from Otley in the north, on the border with North Yorkshire, to the border with the district of Wakefield in the south, and from Pudsey on the border with the district of the City of Bradford in the west, to Garforth and Wetherby in the east. It is named after its major settlement, Leeds, which is also the administrative seat. To the south and west, the borders of the district cover mostly urban and suburban areas. To the east and north, the district includes much countryside and many other towns and villages which have little in common with the city itself.
