First things first: where exactly is the new St John’s Neighbourhood in Manchester?
Bordered by Quay Street to the north, Byrom Street to the east, Liverpool Road to the south, and the River Irwell to the west, it’s the bit between Spinningfields and Castlefield, just below Deansgate. Once home to Granada Studios, it is marketed as a new creative district made up of media and tech businesses, apartments, hotels and visitor attractions. Its best-known landmarks are the Science and Industry Museum and, increasingly, the new Aviva Studios where Manchester International Festival is based. If you’ve ever eaten langoustines at Fenix or raced the clock in the Crystal Maze Experience, you’ve been there, probably without realising it.
