Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre is a busy area with a lot of foot traffic due to its position right next to Manchester Piccadilly railway station.

Visitors to the city often travel through the gardens, and recently it has hosted multiple events such as a Euro's fan zone, the Christmas markets, and a New Year's countdown.

Despite being a central location, Piccadilly Gardens is a controversial space in the city centre, and there have been many reports of crime and antisocial behaviour in the area, with some people suggesting they feel unsafe.
