On the radio, the TV and the football pitch, Manchester is truly a northern powerhouse.

In summer, Manchester’s green spaces come alive, as Piccadilly Gardens bristles with activity. Across town, in Sackville Park in the city’s LGBTQ district, visitors lay flowers at the Alan Turing Memorial in rejection of prejudice.

In the centre stands the grand, Neo-Gothic Manchester Town Hall as well as the Baroque Lancaster House. To the south, the regenerated Salford Quays, built on the land where the textiles Manchester made would be sent across the seas, now sparkles with bars, restaurants and well-heeled Mancunians.
