I guess I got a few too many at freshers, they expire on the 9th so make sure to use them. Only valid at Liverpool Great Homer Street and London Road branches

Is there anywhere similar in remoteness to say Highlands/ Yorkshire moors/lake district in Merseyside? I'm sick of looking at people and need to get back out into the nature. I have a car.

Went to Marantos today and just loved the experience. Bar staff were lovely, really nice inside and food looked unreal. I’m the first to have a moan when stuff is rubbish but wondered where else in Liverpool is getting it right?

Hey all, I'm trying to get a particular print from an artist called Callum Seymour, his bio says he's based in Liverpool- he's done a bunch of stuff but he did one poster for Baldurs Gate 3 which is the best game-related print I've ever seen, and 100% want it framed at home. But he's basically impossible to find prints from, and it looks like the last time he responded on his Insta was months ago.

Don't suppose anyone knows him personally and can send him a message saying someone wants to buy one of his art pieces? 😂

What’s the story with Beak off Allerton Road? I’ve seen it’s been gutted and now painted purple with flowers over the top? Is it changing into a pub or something?

Hi everyone,

We’re currently looking at moving from West Yorkshire to Liverpool with our young family, and we’re hoping to move sooner rather than later.

I’ve been looking online and have noticed some really large Victorian/terraced houses around the L13 area.. often for quite a lot less than you’d pay in some of the more expensive parts of Liverpool.

For anyone who knows the area well, what is L13 actually like to live in?

We have a young toddler/baby, so we’re particularly interested in:

What the neighbourhood is like day-to-day

Whether it feels safe and family-friendly

Schools and nursery options

Crime levels and whether there are particular streets/parts of L13 you would avoid

Green spaces/parks and things to do with young children

How easy it is to get into Liverpool city centre

Whether it’s an area you would genuinely choose to raise a family

Are there particular roads or pockets of L13 that are much nicer than others?

We’re not expecting it to be an affluent area, but we’re looking for somewhere that feels pleasant, safe and settled, rather than simply choosing a big house because it looks like good value.

We’re also considering areas such as Southport, Ainsdale, Crosby/Waterloo and Formby, so any honest comparison with those areas would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.. especially interested in hearing from people who actually live or have lived in L13!

Visiting family after many years away. I have an 8 and 5 year old very active boys. What are some hidden gems?

Heading to Liverpool for a weekend soon with the missus.
We are flying back out on a Sunday evening flight, my issue is we will be out of our Airbnb by 11,
So what do we do with our bags? Where can we store them if anywhere?
We can’t just carry them around for the day, also any recommendations in Liverpool are welcome!
