Each day I commute from Leeds to Manchester on the Trans Pennine Express. To get to my office near Victoria Station I avoid the direct route which would take me through the busy city centre and instead walk through the Northern Quarter. For du lịch bắc kinh those who are not familiar with this part of Manchester it is an up and coming area of Manchester with a feel of the likes of Londons Notting Hill and Manhattans Village. In fact I think the term UrbanVillage just about sums up the Northern Quarter. Im not saying that it is as refined as Notting Hill but it is aiming towards that kind of vibrant Indie culture.

At the Northern Quarter you will find independent restaurants, traditional bars, trendy bars and places which resemble a cross between a café, a bar and du lịch bắc kinh 5 ngày 4 đêm từ hà nội a student common room.
