Don't be misled by the name, this is not a huge store. Still, there's a lot crammed into quite a small space with records, CDs, DVDs, magazines and concert tickets galore. One of the best features of Jumbo is that it caters for a very broad range of musical tastes; including rock, pop, jazz, funk, soul, reggae and punk. The choice of records is also impressive, making Jumbo one of the best places to buy the increasingly rare vinyl.

OK Comics is definitely more than okay – it’s the leading place for comic books and graphic novels in Leeds. It’s won business awards, which speaks for itself, and has a very large stock; not only the popular titles, but great depth of material. There’s also a lending library for graphic novels, while the upper floor is where sale stock can be found, with comic books as low as 50 pence. New comics arrive weekly to please both the browser and the serious collector, with a comfortable place to sit and read.
