There is so much more to Manchester than just the city centre. Though that is awesome, the surrounding suburbs offer just as much and look just as pretty. Here are 5 up and coming Manchester suburbs you have to check out.
In the fast few years, Altrincham has blossomed and grown to an amazing corner of Manchester. With independent coffee shops abound, restaurants of nearly every cuisine. And of course, we can’t forget the gorgeous food market; which inspired the beloved Mackie Mayor in the Northern Quarter that has so many independent food stalls and vintage wares. Altrincham is definitely a suburb you have to check out.
Now Chorlton has gained a reputation as one of the most bohemian neighbourhoods in Manchester. It is definitely a Manchester suburb to check out. With its array of quirky restaurants and awesome bars, there is quite a lot that will keep you busy. Head down Beech road and try one of the many independent restaurants like The Laundrette or Chorlton Green Brasserie.
Home to many young people, West Didsbury is definitely one suburb worth a visit. From independent shops to cocktail bars, it has something for everyone. Explore Cocoa-Cabana, an independent chocolatier or have some cocktails at Rustik.
Close to the city centre, this suburb has seen a transformation in recent years, to make it a suburb that needs to be checked out. What makes Ancoats so special is that it fuses the old with the new. Old mill buildings have been turned into modern apartments, independent stores have popped up along with some of the best coffee shops. Voted one of the ‘hippest’ neighbourhoods in the UK, it’s worth a visit, even just to Instagram some of the best street art seen in Manchester.
Young hipsters of Manchester have migrated to this neighbourhood. Similar to Chorlton, it is full of quirky stores and tasty brunch spots such as Trove. The best time to go is on a Saturday when Levenshulme market opens, expect an abundance of vintage clothes, vinyl records and beautiful flowers. A must do!
