Munro House, Leeds

Munro House is a building in Leeds situated at the corner of Duke Street and York Street, combining different uses within its structure. Inside, the space contains design offices, artist studios, exhibition areas, and event venues arranged across multiple floors.

The building was originally called Union House and housed The United Yeast Company operations in the 1930s. Since then it underwent several changes in commercial use before being reimagined as a cultural and creative hub.

The building takes its name from Charles Munro, a local businessperson, and sits within a vibrant arts quarter that draws creative workers together. Today it serves as a hub where artists, designers, and data professionals share studio space and collaborate on projects.

The building is easy to reach on foot within the neighborhood near other cultural venues. Keep in mind that different spaces within the building may have varying opening times depending on events or studio activities scheduled.

The top floor is home to ODI Leeds, a node of the Open Data Institute focused on open data collaboration and practical applications. This makes it an unexpected meeting point where technology professionals and creative workers from different fields come together.
