The Elizabeth Tower, New Jackson
What is The Elizabeth Tower?
The Elizabeth Tower is a 52-storey residential skyscraper in the New Jackson district. Known for its elegant design and crowned with a stunning rooftop garden and swimming pool (though these are private), its exterior is a highlight of Manchester’s modern skyline.
Why Shoot Here?
- Elegant Facade: Unlike some of the flatter glass towers nearby, The Elizabeth Tower has a more textured and refined facade that plays with light and shadow.
- Urban Symmetry: The positioning of the tower at the end of several street views makes it an excellent subject for symmetrical compositions.
- Night Illumination: The top of the tower is often subtly lit, making it a prominent feature in night-time skyline shots of Manchester.
- Proximity to Deansgate Square: It’s perfectly situated to capture “canyon” style shots between it and the neighbouring Deansgate Square towers.
