Islington Wharf

I live here at Islington Wharf which is about a 10 – 15 minute lovely walk from Piccadilly which is down a lovely canal path walk.
Its a super friendly place to live with two blocks one smaller one and then the big tower building.
The architecture is super cool, with nothing like it in Manchester! With its huge windows and amazing views of around Manchester.
All the apartments range in different sizes from tiny to massive and are lovely inside with lovely features including modern bathrooms and great kitchens, and living space.
There is also a great communal secret garden in-​between the buildings which is great for those summer days and evenings drinking Rose wine and having BBQS.
Its right by the Ashton Canal with passing Barge Boats coming up and down the canal most of the time. It has a lovely community feel to the place and we have a really good residents committee who likes to take care of this awesome place to live.
There is also a great coffee shop in one of the Units called Vivd Lounge who serve great coffee and cake and do some special nights and do some great Thai Food. There is also a Barber shop, Tanning Shop and little convenience shop for that loaf of bread or sugar.

Islington Wharf showcases one of the more interesting architectural designs for new developments in Manchester.
It’s all slanted and angular, with the flats seemingly having huge window space and thus amazing views over Manchester. However, me and my girlfriend looked at one of these flats when we were moving to Manchester and flathunting and the thing is that flats exist in between all the ones with amazingly huge windows and views. These flats have tiny windows, and feel quite enclosed and small.
The building is still incredible though, and it’s situated within easy walking distance of town and right by the lovely Ashton Canal.
