Lark Lane

Lark Lane is a street in South Liverpool, noted for its cafés, bars, boutiques, music venues and bistros and has a bohemian reputation. Its proximity to student residences and the variety of bars and restaurants makes it a popular venue as an alternative to the city centre.

The street leads from the Sefton Park to Aigburth Road, and is situated between Sefton Park and the Aigburth district. At the Sefton Park end, the street narrows at a pair of stone gateposts which mark the entrance to Aigburth Drive (the road around the park) and the park itself.

The street originally had a local police station, the elaborate building for which is now in use as a community centre. For a short time a nearby side road housed a motor museum.

The nearest train station to Lark Lane is St. Michaels, west of Aigburth Road in the former St. Michael's Hamlet.

In 2008, a novel was published, Angels Chic by Arjuna Krishna-Das, set largely around Lark Lane and its counter-culture circa 1990.
