Forming part of the English Core Cities Group, often described as the second city of England, and the Capital of the North, Manchester today is a centre of the arts, the media, higher education and commerce. It is in the north west of England in the UK. It is a famous English city.
Manchester's buildings display a variety of architectural styles, ranging from Victorian to contemporary architecture. The widespread use of red brick characterises the city. Much of the architecture in the city harks back to its days as a global centre for the cotton trade. Just outside the immediate city centre is a large number of ex-cotton mills, some of which have been left virtually untouched since their closure whilst many have been redeveloped into apartment buildings and office space. Manchester Town Hall, in Albert Square, was built in the gothic revival style and is considered to be one of the most important Victorian buildings in England. It has been used in film as a replacement location for the Palace of Westminster, where filming is not permitted.
Often cited as the world's first industrialised city, with little pre factory history to speak of, Manchester is a frequently visited city in the United Kingdom and a major centre of the creative industries.

257 km northwest of London, Manchester lies in a bowl shaped land
area bordered to the north and east by the Pennine hills, a mountain chain that
runs the length of Northern England and to the south by the Cheshire Plain. The
city centre is on the east bank of the River Irwell, near its confluences with
the Rivers Medlock and Irk, and is relatively low lying, being between 35 and
42 m above sea level. The River Mersey flows through the south of Manchester.
Much of the inner city, especially in the south, is flat, offering extensive views
from many highrise buildings in the city of the foothills and moors of the Pennines,
which can often be capped with snow in the winter months. Manchester's geographic
features were highly influential in its early development as the world's first
industrial city. These features are its climate, its proximity to a seaport at
Liverpool, the availability of water power from its rivers, and its nearby coal
reserves.
The name Manchester, though officially applied only to the metropolitan district of Greater Manchester, has been applied to other, wider divisions of land, particularly across much of the Greater Manchester county and urban area. The Manchester City Zone, Manchester post townand the Manchester Congestion Charge are all examples of this. The economic geography of the Manchester City Region is used to define housing markets, business linkages, travel to work patterns, administrative areas etc. As defined by The Northern Way economic development agency the City Region territory encompasses most of the natural economys Travel to Work Area and includes the cities of Manchester and Salford, plus the adjoining metropolitan boroughs of Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan, together with High Peak ( which lies outside the North West England region ), Congleton, Macclesfield, Vale Royal and Warrington.
For purposes of the Office for National Statistics, Manchester forms the most populous settlement within the Greater Manchester Urban Area, the United Kingdom's third largest conurbation. There is a mixture of high density urban and suburban locations in Manchester. The largest open space in the city, at around 3 km² , is Heaton Park. Manchester is contiguous on all sides with several large settlements, except for a small section along its southern boundary with Cheshire. The M60 and M56 motorways pass through the south of Manchester, through Northenden and Wythenshawe respectively. Heavy rail lines enter the city from all directions, the principal destination being Manchester Piccadilly station.
Manchester Airport is a major airport in Manchester, England, and the largest UK airport outside London. Opening to passenger traffic in June 1938, it was initially known as Ringway Airport. During World War II it officially became RAF Ringway, and from 1975 until 1986 the title Manchester International Airport was used.
Manchester experiences a temperate maritime climate, like much of the British Isles, with relatively cool summers and mild winters. There is regular but generally light precipitation throughout the year. Snowfall is not common in the city, due to the urban warming effect. However, the Pennine and Rossendale Forest hills which surround the city to its east and north receive more snow and roads leading out of the city can be closed due to snow, notably the A62 road via Oldham and Standedge, the A57 (Snake Pass) towards Sheffield, and the M62 over Saddleworth Moor.
