Inside Information in Stockport, Greater Manchester*

Stockport, Greater Manchester Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• merseyway!!
• Stockport used to be such a lovely place to live, it's such a shame it's now full of scallys hanging around the precinct when they should be at school.
• all the scallies hang round in grand central, everyone else goes as far away as possible
• All over the A6, from the college right down to the hat works.
• The park on the A6 past "carpet world" is a favourite spot of my mates for a post pub frolic. Although it is a slight trek from the 192 bus stop in Hazel Grove it is a quality place to take your newly met friend of the opposite sex for a little nookieness. "Old Granny Lane" is a favourite haunt of amorous couples in cars. The location in Heaton Moor will have to remain a secret as I use it!
• Try the bearpit next to the bus station above the river if you are brave enough to challenge the pigeons in their own territory (the stink of the river won't keep them away!)
• Grand Central
• Grand Central. Absolutely hundreds of teenagers there looking for fights, stealing money off people and trying to get into luckies (erm, no).

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
