Liverpool sits on the eastern side of the mouth of the River Mersey in Merseyside, north-west England. Historically a major port during the 18th and 19th centuries, its waterfront - including the redeveloped Royal Albert Dock and the city’s distinctive Victorian and Edwardian buildings - still speaks of maritime trade, shipbuilding and migration that shaped the city’s character.
Today Liverpool is globally known for its music and cultural scene, most famously as the birthplace of the Beatles, and hosts institutions such as Tate Liverpool and the imposing Liverpool Cathedral. The city combines strong sporting passion at Anfield, growing creative and knowledge economies, tourism and higher education, with a proud, cosmopolitan working‑class identity forged by generations of migrants.
