About

The Pier Head is a waterfront promenade along the River Mersey, forming a central part of Liverpool's maritime history. Its open space is defined by the Three Graces: the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port of Liverpool Building, which form a historic architectural line. The area functions as a public square and transport hub, with ferry terminals for services across the river. The layout facilitates views of the water and the distant Wirral peninsula.

Directly on the waterfront, the Pier Head is home to the Mersey Ferries terminal and the memorial to the engineers of the Titanic. The area includes the Museum of Liverpool, which documents the city's development. It is a focal point for events and provides a direct pedestrian link to the Albert Dock complex. The sound of ferry horns is a common feature here.
