Deansgate, Beetham Tower

- Deansgate Station, Museum of Science and Industry, White Lion, Liverpool Rd

Deansgate is the longest road in Manchester's city centre, and one of the oldest. Here you find the Deansgate railway station, a redbrick station with elevated platforms and the 47-storey Beetham Tower, which the tallest building in the UK outside London, with a roof height of 157m. It is a sleek glass tower built in 2006 with a Hilton hotel, a skybar and apartments. Beetham Tower is one of the thinnest skyscrapers in the world. The architect, Ian Thompson, lives on the top-floor penthouse, that is the highest living space in the United Kingdom. An even taller skyscraper is under construction on Owen St (2017). On the nearby Liverpool Road you find the Museum of Science and Industry, and several nice, really old British pubs.
