The pedestrianised and covered shopping centres in Leeds are wonderful and doubly useful at the moment, because I can’t handle the hustle of streets and definitely cannot be held responsible for looking left and right at oncoming traffic. After sniffing everything in Neom, I cross the polished floor to John Lewis. Conveniently, in the men’s shoe department (ground floor) there is a lovely sofa. And, even better, close by are displays of ‘chocolates as presents’.
