Harehills is an inner-city area of north-east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, adjacent to Chapeltown, characterised by its streets of dense, back-to-back terraced housing. It is home to a large south Asian community.
In 2001 the area was home to rioting after an Asian man was arrested by police. This followed riots earlier that summer in south Asian communities in Oldham and Bradford.
Harehills is centred around Harehills Parade, a lively shopping district at the junction of Roundhay Road, Harehills Lane and Harehills Road by the former Fforde Greene public house.
Leeds’s driving test centre is based just off Harehills Lane.
