Looking for an independent art shop in Manchester with a mix of bespoke picture framing, modern wall art, and fine art commissions? You’ll find it all at H.O.B Gallery & Studio, right in the heart of Chorlton on Beech Road. Here’s a simple guide on how to get here—whether you’re
travelling by tram, bus, or train.

From Didsbury & Withington: Follow the Wilmslow Road lanes north, then pick up the Barlow Moor Road segregated lanes, which take you almost directly to Beech Road.
From Fallowfield: Join the Fallowfield Loop westbound, exit near St Werburgh’s Road tram stop, and follow cycle signs into Chorlton and Beech Road.
From Whalley Range: Use Manchester Road cycle lanes into Chorlton, then turn onto Barlow Moor Road and right into Beech Road.
From Stretford & Chorlton Park: Connect via Edge Lane or Stretford Road cycle lanes, then join Barlow Moor Road. From there, Beech Road is a short ride away.
