In the southern part of the area is St Peter's Square, G-Mex exhibition Bridgewater Hall, centre to the east are Chinatown and the Gay Village and to the southwest is Castlefield district and the Museum of Science and Industry. Near Piccadilly Gardens in the Northern Quarter as well as the area around Exchange Square visitors can find many cafes and restaurants as well as a large cluster of hotels.
