About Deansgate and staying safe

Deansgate is the long spine of Manchester city centre, running from the Cathedral and Exchange Square past Kendals, the Royal Exchange and St Ann's Square down to the soaring Beetham Tower. It mixes department stores, theatres, hotel bars and quiet side streets of Georgian townhouses, and it is one of the best-connected parts of the city, served by Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop and frequent buses. Its busy pavements and taxi ranks make it straightforward to get around, but the volume of visitors also attracts opportunistic theft, so keep valuables out of sight and your phone in a front pocket. Only use contact details that appear on an advertiser's LUX profile, and be wary of anyone who moves the conversation to a new number or asks you to click a payment link. Every profile in Deansgate belongs to one verified independent adult and shows how many days ago their identity was last confirmed. LUX is a neutral directory and never arranges meetings.
