Exchange Square review Rate it
Another of the new spaces afforded by the bomb, Exchange Square has rows of amphitheatre seating (with decorative metal bars to spoil the fun of more adventurous skateboarders) arranged, like living-room furniture around a television, to face the Triangle's big screen.
A playful water feature is occasionally given the washing-up liquid treatment by mischievous youths. Surrounded as the square is by shopping centres (the Arndale, Selfridges, the Triangle), and enlivened by occasional public events, there's no danger of anyone using it to get a rest, but it's an inventive communal space.
