It lies within the Roundhay ward and carries the postal district LS 8. The area is noted for its association with early cinema; the short silent film Roundhay Garden Scene was filmed by French inventor Louis Le Prince at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay on 14 October 1888, and it is considered the oldest surviving film.

The historical link to film provides a distinctive cultural point of interest for residents and visitors alike. As a sizeable community within Leeds, Roundhay offers a blend of urban convenience and local heritage.
