An emerging Manchester city centre neighbourhood born of 'depressing' but 'fascinating ' derelict sites and industrial buildings has been named in the Sunday Times' exclusive 'best places to live' list.

Piccadilly East is the name given to the area behind Piccadilly train station, situated just minutes the trendy Northern Quarter.

The neighbourhood rose to prominence after being heavily featured in BBC's 2020 documentary 'Manctopia' - and now is making waves all by itself.
