About

Liverpool sits on the eastern shore of the River Mersey and is centred on a waterfront formed by a series of docks and the Pier Head. The Royal Albert Dock houses converted brick warehouses now hosting galleries and a maritime museum, while the skyline is marked by the Three Graces at the Pier Head — the Royal Liver Building with its two Liver Birds, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building. The Mersey Ferry still runs from terminals on the riverfront, and streets such as Castle Street and Dale Street lead inland from the docks into the city centre.

Beyond the waterfront, streets like Mathew Street and Eccles form a tight network of venues and clubs associated with the city’s music history; the Cavern Club sits on Mathew Street and Penny Lane and Strawberry Field are within city boundaries. Hope Street links the Anglican Cathedral on St James Mount and the Metropolitan Cathedral, and shopping areas including Liverpool One sit between these cultural anchors. The city combines civic buildings, residential terraces and green spaces within a compact urban area.
