Local Business Marketing Intelligence in Common Side

Common Side, in Leeds, Yorkshire and The Humber, falls under postcode district WF3, near Langley, Lofthouse and Lofthouse Gate. Leeds Kirkgate Market, one of Europe's largest covered markets, began as an open-air market in 1822 and is the birthplace of Marks & Spencer, founded here in 1884 when Michael Marks set up a 'penny bazaar' stall with the slogan 'Don't ask the price, it's a penny'. Today the Victorian market hall still holds over 800 stalls and draws more than 100,000 visitors a week.

LeedsBID is the largest multi-sector Business Improvement District outside London, representing close to 800 city centre businesses across every sector. According to ONS's tally for March 2026, there were 29,830 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.

92.5% of new businesses in Leeds were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). That kind of churn is precisely why marketing intelligence matters - standing still isn't an option when the market around you isn't.
