Leeds Water Taxis

Pleasant short cheap and convenient way of getting from near Leeds Rail Station to Leeds Dock for The Armouries or The Discovery Centre museum. The boarding point is as shown on the Tripadvisor map, i.e. by Canal Wharf and not at Granary Wharf which the Water Taxi website refers to and which Google Maps shows as being on the opposite bank, fortunately not very far away if you mistakenly go there first, as we did!

Reviewed By Jodiedonny

This was a great interesting place with loads of different things to see & do really big place with five floors loads of war weapons and different sections to see, a lot of armour & plenty of places to listen to stories from over time, the museum has many places to sit in the glass front edge to look over the river which was lovely. Great enjoyable day, cafe staff downstairs very friendly & biscuit & cuppa lovely.

The water taxi is great, free - with a donations jar inside. From outside the Armories museum to the back of the train station, well worth doing to see the city from the river, it's a great way to travel form one end to the other. The problem is I only found out about the taxi from family who had previously been, if you didn't already know about it you'd miss it. There isn't a single sign, no timetable. No way of knowing when the taxi will be coming in or leaving. I just had to stand behind the locked gate near the taxi and make eye contact with the guy until he opened the gate. It's a very odd way of doing things and no help to anyone, it really alienates the tourists. Obviously the armories is the go to thing around here, good for a couple of hours of free entertainment. There's a walk by the canal and around the renovated docks, past the barges. The Tetley is also just around the corner. It's good walking distance from the city centre, doesn't take long at all
