The Manchester Office occupies a 1960s grade II listed building with floor-to-ceiling windows. It's situated on King Street and was commissioned as an insurance company's prestigious office headquarters. Historically, King Street was Manchester's financial services capital and, although high-end shops have now moved in, it is still in the Office of the business district and home to a mix of financial, legal and other services organisations. King Street is a 10-minute walk from both Piccadilly and Victoria stations, which provide strategic links to both the Greater Manchester area and Manchester Airport. The Greater Manchester area is England's largest economic area outside London. The BBC has moved to nearby Salford and there are several universities nearby.
