Joseph's Well is on the outskirts of the City Centre, but still an easy walk from the station. Click here for Google Map

There's also an annotated map here - note the inclusion of the footbridge from Portland Street! (Great George Street on more detailed maps.) Also the Subculture (Friday & Sunday) is on the corner of Wade Lane, approximately where the "Bar Phono" arrow is pointing.

Directions from the Train Station:
Take the first exit from the station (opposite end of the first concourse opposite the barriers, By Burger King and Paperchase) turn left. Head down to City Square and across and up Park Row. Cross the road and then turn left along the Headrow, admiring the architectural splendour of the Library and Town Hall. Either head up right up Oxford Row or Place and turn left, or carry along to the monstrosity that is the new Courts buildings and turn right up Park Street. Either way, you should find yourself outside the George Pub with the looming Gothic splendour of the LGI in front of you. To the left of the LGI is a church, and just beyond (you should be walking along past the church, not up the side!) is the footbridge. Josephs Well is the large building on the left after the bridge, and the entrance is on the left side (by the car park).

By Car:
The best way to approach the venue is to check the map and aim for the short stretch of Motorway in the city centre, the A58(M). You're aiming for Park Lane College (if there are signs) and you're better off approaching from the south, taking the first exit after the A65, before the tunnel - it curves upwards and you want the left hand lane. Otherwise, from the north it's the first exit immediately after the second tunnel, keep right and follow the road left (effectively in a U turn) and onto Park lane. On Park Lane immediately get into the right hand lane as you're taking the first right onto Hanover Way, then follow the road around and turn of (to the right) just as the road curves left and upwards. The venue's carpark is to the right,

Car Parks:
The venue has a decent (free) car park, otherwise any town car park (such as The Light - directions here) will be within easy walking distance.

Joseph's Well is one of Leeds best known live venues, having hosted many great bands including The Sisters Of Mercy and New Model Army. The venue is split into a large 360 capacity gig room and an equally spacious (and rather comfortable) separate bar area.

The Subculture (previously known as The Bassment and Top Cats) is located on the outside of the Merrion Centre on Wade Lane, only just around the corner from Merrion Street. The Merrion centre itself is situated roughly halfway between the train station and the university. Click here for Google Map(note that the pointer is a little misleading, the venue is much nearer the corner of Wade Lane and Merrion Street).

Directions from the Train Station:
Take the first exit from the station (opposite end of the first concourse opposite the barriers, By Burger King and Paperchase) turn right, and follow the road along the side of the station (where the taxis often wait) until it curves left. Cross the main road and head up the pedestrianised area. Go to the top of the pedestrianised area (passing the like of Virgin and Boots) and carry up along the same road. Continue over the junction and straight up, passing along the side of the St John's Centre. You've probably already spotted the hulking 60s monstrosity of the Merrion Centre ahead of you... it's got Oceana on the corner, with Edwards next to it. Turn right at Oceanic and walk along past Edwards and past the main entrance to the Merrion Centre. The venue is just around the far corner of the Centre.

By Car:
There are comprehensive directions to the venue here (note that these are for a clubnight that used to run at the venue before it changed names).

Car Parks:
There are numberous car parks within easy reach of the venue, including The Light and on street parking in the immediate vicinity. However, the easiest place to park is in the Merrion Centre car park itself. There is map here although the car park entrance is actually on Merrion Way.

The Subculture is Leeds' newest alternative venue, the inside of which has recently been rebuilt from scratch from the remains of the previous "Bassment" nightclub. The Subculture opened in late September and is a beautiful shiny new club with a capacity of 300.

The Subculture will also be open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons for tea, coffee, biscuits and beer!
