Commuting to our Office at Universal Square Building

We can be found very easily by both public transport and car, however, if you would like further instructions please find our advice below.

Arriving by Public Transport

If you are commuting by public transport it is likely easiest to arrive by bus. The nearest Metrolink station and train station are both at Piccadilly; 1 mile from our office.

The bus routes closely passing the Universal Square building are 201, 202, 203, 205 and 206 all leaving from Piccadilly Gardens. You should step of the bus at the junction of Hyde Road and Devonshire Street North. You will see the Manchester College, and passed the crossing you will also recognise the Stagecoach depot.

After leaving the bus turn left on Devonshire Street North. Universal Square will be on your right after a short walk of approximately 200 metres.

Google Maps will show a train station close-by named Ardwick. However, this is a peak-hour only station with a very limited amount of trains stopping here. We do not recommend taking this route.
