UNCLE Deptford

Manchester has undergone a complete revolution since the turn of the millennium. It now stands apart from other cities in the north as a mini-London, full of all the vibrancy, cool lifestyle and soul of the capital, but without the huge size or hefty southern price tags.

A recent study from PureGym has found that London has the highest number of gym-goers in the UK. One in five London residents has a gym membership, the majority of which visit the gym at least twice a week or more.
