What are the shopping options like in Manchester, England?

The rain here is unbelievable. It’s as if the stereotype of England always being grey and gloomy is based upon Manchester alone. Aside from that it’s a relatively quiet city, and the homes here are beautiful – especially considering the fact that the prices for them are very reasonable. Also, Manchester is known as one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the UK I believe; we even have an area in town dedicated to them called ‘Gay Village’ which is pretty cool.

Manchester is an excellent place to live with a wide range of public transport, bars, restaurants and shops. The city is very beautiful with a multitude of old buildings still standing that give the city centre a wonderful old-timey feeling which meshes surprisingly well with the more modern areas that are frequently only a short walk away.

People should know Manchester is an expensive city. The cost of house prices, particularly in South Manchester, have increased dramatically over the past few years. Many people have instead chosen to live in adjacent cities such as Blackburn, Bury and Wigan. These areas offer considerably more value for money, whilst still remaining close enough to allow a reasonable commute into Manchester.
