GREATER MANCHESTER: WHERE HISTORY IS MADE
A place with a proud past and a progressive future Greater Manchester is known for originality and invention. It is a place that has always been confident, creative and full of character. Greater Manchester is the heart industrial revolution, also where the cooperative movement began, where the computer was created and was the home of the suffragettes. In the current era, Greater Manchester is considered as one of the perfect places to live and work in the UK. Here’s a brief taste of what you can expect:
Personality
You will definitely feel the character of the place, though it is invisible. Greater Manchester is known for its charm, energy and warmth. It’s no coincidence that Manchester has been voted one of the ten friendliest cities in the world by Rough Guides readers.
Property
House prices are significantly lower than other prominent cities of England. Moreover, the property market is booming in Manchester and Greater Manchester. It is a place where you can live with all the attractions of shopping, eating, nightlife, etc., on your doorstep.
Transport
Wherever you are in Greater Manchester, you’re not too far away from a cycle lane, bus or tram stop, train station, motorway or airport. The coast and the countryside are around an hour away by car. London is a two-hour train ride away, and you could even fly to Barcelona in 2.5 hours.
Eating and drinking
Manchester is the melting pot of world cuisines that suit the budget. The city has the biggest Chinatown in the UK outside of London and Rusholme. You can see a diverse mix of dining options in the city centre.
Shopping
Greater Manchester is the right spot for shopping lovers. Market Street is a fabulous destination for any shopping trip and the place where you can access the famous Arndale Centre. Nearby Exchange Square is home to Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, while you’ll find designer boutiques at Spinningfields and plenty of quirky independents in the Northern Quarter.
