A walk around the Peter Street and Deansgate area of Manchester City Centre. My Adventure Planet

Home to some of Manchester's most stylish bars, clubs and cocktail lounges, Peter Street has gone through many changes in recent years.

Most recently Peter Street has transformed from being the magnet for stag parties, hen nights and drunken revellers to becoming a more upmarket area with some of the best cocktail lounges and Champagne bars in Manchester city centre.

Alongside the more sophisticated bars, real ale bars and live music venues, there's still a good selection of party venues for those looking for some fun.

Stretching from St Peter's Square down to the junction with Deansgate, the Peter Street area is the ideal place to visit for pre-show drinks with The Albert Hall, Opera House Manchester, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester Central, Palace Theatre and Manchester Town Hall all in the area.

At the bottom of Peter Street, cross over Deansgate onto Quay Street and you'll find more bars together with the modern Spinningfields business, shopping and restaurant development, just behind the Opera House.

The popular drinking areas of Deansgate, Portland Street, Oxford Road and Deansgate Locks are all nearby too.

Deansgate is a main road (part of the A56) through Manchester City Centre, England.

It runs roughly north–south in a near straight route through the western part of the city centre and is the longest road in the city centre at over one mile in length.

At the northern end of Deansgate is Victoria Street, on which lies Manchester Cathedral and at the southern end is Deansgate railway station.

At this point, Deansgate connects with Bridgewater Viaduct and Chester Road (Whitworth Street West meets it at this point).

The section to the south of Peter Street was known as Aldport Street until the end of the 18th century.

The street contains many shops including a House of Fraser department store (known as Kendals from the 1830s until 2005) and Waterstones along with many public houses and bars including the Moon Under Water, formerly the Deansgate Cinema (or ABC Deansgate).

At 820 square metres (8,800 sq ft), able to accommodate 1,700 customers and employing 60 staff, it has been listed in The Guinness Book of Records as the largest public house in Britain.

The northern end of the street adjoined the Shambles and was badly damaged in the 1996 Manchester bombing.

The area was redeveloped and houses several new buildings, including No. 1 Deansgate and the Manchester branch of Harvey Nichols.

Other buildings in the Deansgate area include the Royal Bank of Scotland, the Beetham Tower and the redeveloped Great Northern Warehouse.

Historic buildings include the John Rylands Library and the Barton Arcade shopping mall.

The disused Manchester and Salford Junction canal runs directly underneath Deansgate below the Great Northern Warehouse.

Today, the main transport links on Deansgate are the National Rail and Manchester Metrolink stations and a number of bus routes, including the Metroshuttle services.

Deansgate is a long straight street which has provided a venue for sporting events in the city centre.

In 2006, A1 Racing cars visited the city to launch A1 Grand Prix and used Deansgate as part of the route.

In August 2011, thousands packed the street as Jenson Button drove a McLaren MP4-23 along Deansgate as part of the Vodafone Vip Live Manchester festival.

In 2001, the inaugural Great City Games took place on Deansgate, which featured a 150-metre sprinting track.

The event has become an annual fixture on the Great Manchester Run weekend during mid-May. Usain Bolt set a world record for the 150 m straight in 2009 and Tyson Gay ran the 200 m straight in record time in 2010.
