Piccadilly Garden, Manchester, UK [4K]

Piccadilly Gardens is a green space in Manchester city centre, England, on the edge of the Northern Quarter.

It takes its name from the adjacent street, Piccadilly, which runs across the city centre from Market Street to London Road. The gardens also contain a bus station and a tram stop.

Piccadilly Gardens were laid out after World War I on the former site of the Manchester Royal Infirmary. Originally landscaped as an ornamental sunken garden, the area was levelled out and reconfigured in 2002 with a water feature and concrete pavilion by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

Piccadilly Gardens are located in Manchester city centre, just to the south of the Northern Quarter. The green space is bounded on four sides by streets: Mosley Street to the west, Parker Street to the south and Portland Street to the east; along the northern side is Piccadilly, a street that runs eastwards from the junction of Market Street to the junction of London Road with Ducie Street.

The name Piccadilly is often used to refer to the area around Piccadilly itself, including the gardens, Piccadilly Station and Piccadilly Basin, a canal basin on the Rochdale Canal. Since 2018, the name has also been given to an electoral ward, Piccadilly.
