Despite having been bombed during the Second World War, Manchester still has fine vestiges of the past, while looking to the future. The old industrial town has become a hub of media and finance, and has a cluster of neighbourhoods with distinct identities: canals and warehouses in Castlefield, shopping centres in the hyper-centre, modern architecture in First Street. With a strong culture of football and pop music, Manchester offers an authentically English experience.
