A relaxed, pretty street in the suburb of Chorlton, packed full of independent cafes and shops. After a night out on the tiles, take your pick from the stretch of cute independent cafés that line Beech Road. Soothe your weary head under the sheltered terrace of The Laundrette, where you can order a cheeky Bloody Mary and a brioche bun breakfast burger that’ll blow your socks off. It’s just a short walk from here to Chorlton Green, and then on to Chorlton Water Park, a lush nature reserve where a flask of tea and picnic in the sun (yes, sometimes it’s sunny in Manchester) will round off a perfect day.
