Its value is the way several parts of central Manchester meet here. Market Street begins on one side, the Northern Quarter lies nearby, and City Tower rises over Piccadilly Plaza. The mix of older commercial buildings and modern offices shows successive changes to the city centre in a single glance.
What to look for
City Tower and Piccadilly Plaza form a strong modern backdrop.
Older commercial buildings sit alongside newer office development.
Market Street and the Northern Quarter are both close at hand.
Useful to know
Use the square as a starting point for Market Street or the Northern Quarter.
Follow current open paths if redevelopment work affects the gardens.
