Northern Quarter
Manchester's creative engine room - vinyl, indie coffee, street art and a refusal to grow up.
The Northern Quarter sits just off Piccadilly Gardens and still feels like the city centre's workshop: old textile buildings, painted shutters, record shops, studios and small bars stacked into a tight street grid.
Come for brunch, coffee, vinyl and late drinks, then wander between Oldham Street, Thomas Street and Stevenson Square. It suits people who want Manchester a bit scruffier, louder and more independent.
