Welcome to LJMU A GAME OF TWO HALVES
UNBEATABLE NIGHTLIFE
Another aspect of Liverpool life which can’t be ignored is its proud footballing heritage. The city is home to both Liverpool FC and Everton FC and football is a way of life here. Visits to Anfield and Goodison are an absolute must during your time at LJMU no matter whether you are a ‘red’, a ‘blue’ or somewhere in between.
Last, but not least, comes Liverpool’s legendary nightlife. With the highlights divided between the city centre, Lark Lane and the Baltic Triangle, there’s something here to suit all tastes. Beatles fans will surely want to make a pilgrimage to The Cavern, whilst those with a preference for cutting edge locations will enjoy the numerous venues of the Baltic and, if you’re looking for a bohemian feel, Lark Lane by Sefton Park is an absolute must.
AMAZING ARCHITECTURE If you are a lover of architecture, Liverpool is an absolute treasure trove. There are over 2,500 listed buildings in the city of which 27 are Grade I and 85 Grade II listed. Indeed, the city has been described by English Heritage as England’s finest Victorian city. On top of this, Liverpool’s waterfront is a designated World Heritage Site. This accolade was granted to the area stretching from the Albert Dock, through the Pier Head and up to Stanley Dock. It takes in the historic commercial districts and the RopeWalks area as well as St George’s Quarter which is dominated by the magnificent St George’s Hall.
“It is a fun and vibrant city with many different events happening throughout the year, from art exhibitions to music festivals. The people are very friendly and make you feel at home from the start.” Sara Filgueira Martinez MSc Industrial Biotechnology
GREEN SPACES In terms of green spaces, Liverpool boasts some amazing parks including Sefton Park with its historic Palm House, Calderstones Park which has a 1,000 year old oak tree and Stanley Park with its Grade II listed Isla Gladstone Conservatory. In the summertime the city’s parks are favourite destinations for students keen to take their revision – and their lunch – al fresco.
“I love Liverpool. It is a great city with a fabulous mix of cultures.”
