United Kingdom MediaCity UK (IWM View)
This is the view of the BBC studios and headquartes in MediaCityUK from the Imperial War Museum.
This is a really busy place during workdays, becoming much quieter during weekends or at sunrise/sunset in spring/summer.
The area is full of photography spots and interesting angles for cityscape photography.

Photography Tips
This is an area that can be shot all year round, either sunset or sunrise. Generally, during sunset the sun sets behind the buildings at their left, creating a colourful scene but with a huge amount of contrast. It's highly recommended to have at least 2 stop ND Grad filter to be able to even up the expose.
Travel Information
Best way to get here is by using the Metrolink tram, there is a tram stop right in front of the buildings of the BBC.
If coming by car, it's nearly impossible to find free parking right in the area (this is very close to Old Trafford stadium too). But there are a few affordable car parks around.
