The Northern Quarter is situated within the heart of the city centre being bounded by Shudehill, Ancoats and Piccadilly Gardens meaning it is well connected to the traditional prime retail pitch of Market Street and the Arndale Centre. The city’s main event area, the AO Arena, is also few minutes walk to the north. The city’s 2 mainline rail stations, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria, are less than 10 mins walk away and provide direct routes throughout the UK including London (c.2 hours); Edinburgh (3 hours 19 minutes) and Cardiff (3 hours 29 minutes). Shudehill transport interchange is less than 2 minutes walk away with further Metrolink tram stops nearby on Market Street and High Street providing regular services to Media City UK, Manchester Airport, Altrincham, East Didsbury, Eccles, and Bury. Car parking provision in the area is also excellent with large multistorey car parks provided on Tib Street at the heart of the Northern Quarter, in the Arndale Centre and next to Shudehill transport interchange.
