Levenshulme
Indie south-east - Antiques Village, Saturday market, Trove Bakery, craft beer.

Levenshulme sits on the A6 and rail line south-east of town, with a practical high street and a growing independent food scene. Its market and antiques spaces give the area a clear weekend pull.
It is a good choice for browsing, coffee and craft beer without heading into the city centre. The feel is local, mixed and still changing.
