Newcastle
The 20th most populated city in England, Newcastle resides in northeast England and has a population of around 275,000. Historically famous for its printing presses and glass production, Newcastle's development into a major city was owed much to its export of coal. These days its main industries are office and retail development, which gives local developers a chance to flex their architectural muscle. Newcastle is a popular destination for restaurants, bars and clubs, living up to its reputation as a fun-loving city - The Rough Guide to Britain had Newcastle upon Tyne's nightlife as the UK's number 1 tourist attraction.
