Preston is another north west area that has been awarded city status in 2002. It is a great, upcoming area for investors for a number reasons. Here are our top three.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated north of Manchester<\/a>, Preston is home to UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire) which brings around 30,000 students to the city. Its railway station is a major station on the West Coast main line providing easy access across the North West of England and beyond. A trip to Manchester will take you 40 minutes while you\u2019ll get to Blackburn in only 17 minutes.<\/p>\n

One of the city\u2019s main high streets in the centre has been upgraded to create a contemporary shared space for both pedestrians and vehicles. And a hopeful vision is to make Preston a key destination prior to the possible arrival of the planned HS2 network<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n
