"The Pool"

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral

The Liverpool Cathedral, constructed between 1904-1978, was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott - designer of the red telephone box. Its the largest Cathedral in Britain & regarded as one of the greatest buildings to have been constructed in the 1900s.

Chinese Imperial Arch & Chinatown

The iconic Imperial Arch is the largest of its kind outside of China. It is situated at the gateway to Liverpool's own Chinatown, home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe. With 200 Dragons, 5 roofs & sheer complexity is worth seeing.

Liverpool is known for its innovative museums, a redeveloping city center, being the birthplace of The Beatles & a rich social history as a top industrial port. Located on the River Mersey, Liverpool's former maritime grandeur, where it garnered a fortune from dominating the shipping of textiles, cotton, sugar & slaves in the 1600/1700s, has left a striking architectural legacy. The city boasts more listed buildings, theatres, museums & galleries than any UK city outside London & the waterfront is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But Liverpool's essential character lies in its people: Liverpudlians, like the city itself, are a bold & brash bunch, famous for their acerbic wit, unique Scouse dialect & a fierce pride of their regional identity.
