Go along Haigh Road from the whales jaw bones - about 100 yards. there are a number of short street leading off the north side of Haigh road. go to the end of one of these(Haigh Gardens or Mill pit Lane are particularly good) and you'll get a fantastic view with virtually all of Leeds spread out before you. You do mate. I grew up on Haigh Terrace (left hand fork of Haigh Gardens) and there was a gret little quarry in which we played, the view is great.

Try the end of one of the Marleys/Nosters in Beeston, at the top of the quarries as if you were going down to LUFC. Similar to the view from the clinic but more panoramic. Also, you'd need to get in one of the houses, but the attics on Victoria/Consort Terrace in LS3 have some great views too (although less great since they built all those blimmin' flats on Burley Road).

Further West Woodhouse Moor/Hyde Park/Headingley I would say although I can't spot the Parkinson tower in there.Cottingley's twin towers are to the far right in the haze. A little dot on the skyline to the left is probably Morley Town Hall. To tje left of the first crane is LeedsMet with the town hall in the gap to the second crane constructing Plaza II. Bridgewater Place then the newly completed Opal III. The gas holder is just off Dewsbury road and "the Kremlin" can be seen towards the far left.

Sorry, to be clear I was disagreeing with Misc not Phil who obviously know where he (Phil) lives but posted while I was typying my response.

Ha ha.. Yeah It's North Leeds. I think you can see how the Plaza is nearest the camera making it a Northern vantage point.Bridgewater place doesn't look as tall from this view, It's down a fair old hill really from the Plaza.
