Spring Gardens is an important thoroughfare in Manchester city centre, England. This L-shaped street, formerly the centre of the North West's banking industry, has five Grade II listed buildings and is part of the Upper King Street conservation area.
By the late 20th century, many of the street’s former banking and insurance premises had transitioned to leisure, hospitality and mixed commercial uses, reflecting broader patterns of adaptive reuse within Manchester city centre.
Spring Gardens begins at the junction of Charlotte Street and Mosley Street, crossing Fountain Street and Concert Lane, before continuing north to the eastern end of King Street. A one-way system prevents vehicles from travelling further north on Spring Gardens as it joins York Street (there is a loop via Fountain Street and Marble Street to rejoin), however pedestrians can continue north-northeast on Spring Gardens and a pedestrianised section to join Market Street.
Five buildings are listed Grade II. [1]
