Zoom in to whichever part of Leeds interests you then you can see which bits are owned by offshore companies, thereby possibly avoiding various UK taxes.
Unsurprisingly there are many parts of the centre owned offshore. Interestingly there are shopping centres and pubs sounding quite British, that are ultimately owned abroad.
Posted here because it shows something that is normally not visible about our city, that has been shown. So I think it counts as secret Leeds.

Thanks for that rikj
