If you’re arriving in Liverpool from Lime Street Station then you’re in for a treat when you step outside right into the middle of St George’s Quarter. The stunning Victorian architecture is some of the finest in Britain and houses some of the city’s biggest cultural attractions. You’ll be in awe from the minute you arrive until the second you jump back on the train home. 

Directly opposite Lime Street Station you’ll find St George’s Hall, a beautiful example of neoclassical architecture. It is home to the stunning Minton floor tiles that are revealed once a year for you to see, huge events and you can even go on a tour around the catacombs, cells and rooms of the magnificent building.

The quarter is also home to no less than three theatres within a 5 minute walk from each other! The Liverpool Empire on Lime Street is the largest two-tiered auditorium in Britain and hosts some of the biggest shows straight off the West End. It has welcomed everything from Les Miserables to Chicago and Singing in The Rain, amongst international recording artists, operas and comedy shows. Just over the road you’ll find Royal Court Liverpool. Royal Court are known for producing their own shows with top local talent so it’s worth seeing what is on here for your next visit.
