About England v Pakistan, 1st Test — Headingley

This five-day Test between England and Pakistan draws big crowds to Headingley for every session, so where you sleep affects how easily you get in and out each morning and evening. With a ground that fills a whole neighbourhood on match days, proximity and transport links matter more than usual for a multi-day fixture.

Where to stay nearby

Leeds itself is the obvious base, putting you a short hop from the ground, but if its hotels fill up or you fancy a different price point, nearby Bradford and Sheffield both work as gateway towns with solid onward transport into the city and out to Headingley.

Leeds — about 3 km away

Leeds is the closest base by far, just 3km from the ground, with the widest range of hotels (33) right in the city centre — you can walk, cycle, or take a quick bus or taxi to Headingley each day, making it the easiest option for catching every session without an early start.

Bradford — about 11 km away

Bradford sits 11km out with 20 hotels, and regular train services connect it to Leeds, from where it's a short onward trip to Headingley — a practical choice if Leeds hotels are booked up or pricier, though you'll want to build in a bit more travel time each match day.

Sheffield — about 49 km away

Sheffield is the furthest option at 49km, but it has by far the largest hotel selection (172), and direct trains run to Leeds, followed by a short local journey to the ground — this suits visitors who want more choice and don't mind a longer daily commute, or who are combining the Test with other plans further south.
