One of England's largest cities, Leeds has long shed its industrial past to become a centre of finance, commerce and higher education. With a sizeable student population Leeds is also known for its night life, being the original home of the popular club nights Back 2 Basics and Speedqueen. Leeds has a number of large 'super-clubs' including Oceana, Discotheque and Club Mission, but also a strong selection of independent clubs such as Hi-Fi, Space, Mint and The West Indian Centre, which hosts the famous Sub Dub nights.
