Liverpool
Home of the Beatles, Liverpool is a city of international renown boasting a famous waterfront, celebrated art galleries and some top heritage attractions.
In recent years, the re-development of Albert Dock has created a vibrant, cosmopolitan quarter, spearheading the regeneration of Liverpool's famous docklands, which was the central plank in Liverpool's successful bid to be named European Capital of Culture in 2008.
Walking to work in Liverpool
Workers in Liverpool city centre are lucky to spend their days near one of England’s most impressive rivers – the River Mersey. Commuters alighting at Brunswick Station enjoy a morning stroll past the docks on their way to offices off Water Street, while those coming into James Street and Moorfields Station can still partake of a waterside walk en-route to lunch in Albert Dock.
A little further north, the flow of workers coming into and out of Sandhills and Bank Hall Stations enjoy scenic shortcuts along (or across) the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
Days out by the canal and river
Shopping, museums, art galleries, loft living, bar culture, eateries and top night spots - Albert Dock has the lot. What’s more, it’s all by the water: the famous docks, the River Mersey, the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and the Liverpool Canal Link are all a stone’s throw away.
2008 saw the opening of Liverpool ONE, a colossal retail development built right beside Albert Dock, allowing you to take a relaxing waterside stroll after emerging from the hustle and bustle of the sales.
