Overview
The Bank of England has had a significant presence in Leeds for over 200 years and in May 2024 we announced plans to further increase our presence in the city to more than 500 staff.
The Bank in Leeds is in an accessible and modern office within Leeds City Centre. Being in the heart of Leeds we have easy access to the train station and regular buses directly outside the office.
Leeds Town Hall
Built in 1937, the office has architectural nods back to the Modernist era and has been renovated to make the most of the high ceilings and natural light. The building includes extensive communal areas including two roof terraces and an on-site café.
There are shower facilities, bike storage and changing rooms and, as part of the Bank’s wider benefit package we have secured subsidised access to local gyms.

"Before I joined the Bank, I had a lot of doubts about whether a person who looks or sounds like me could get a job at the Bank of England. Since joining, I have realised that you can succeed at the Bank regardless of your background."
Theodora, Policy Analyst
"The office culture is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making it a great environment to work in. What’s great is that I’m surrounded by a real cross-section of the Bank that I wouldn’t find in London, I love that I can make meaningful impact without needing to be based in London."
Tom, Future Talent Partner
"As a working parent looking to raise my children in the Yorkshire countryside, working in the Leeds office offers a good work/life balance. I am able to thrive professionally and have a good family life."
