    Is that really M15 or was it referring to MI5? I like this list!

    Guided tours of M15 are relatively easy to arrange, and unmissable. The museums, galleries and bars of Castlefield, the magnificant arch bridge of Hulme, and the derelict council estates of Cornbrook – all a tourist in the UK could possibly want, and only two hours from Euston ;-)
