  • Guide to Liverpool Waterfront
    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary.

    “Learn from the past, look to the future, but live in the present.” Petra Nemcova Inspired by the past Overlooking the River Mersey and dominating one the world’s most famous waterfront skylines, the Grade 1 Royal Liver Building first opened its doors in 1911, becoming the tallest building in Europe until 1932. It was one of the first buildings in the world to be built from reinforced concrete, a feat some said was impossible. At 25ft diameter, the George clocks so called because they were set at the precise time King George V was crowned, are still the largest in the UK, whilst the mighty Liver Birds sit proud protecting the city from the sea. As one of the Three Graces and part of the city’s UNESCO’s world heritage site, the Liver Building remains Liverpool’s most iconic landmark building. 2 Great buildings inspire greatness in others The Royal Liver Building is a rare commodity. Located in the heart of Liverpool’s waterfront it is the symbol of the city and arguably its heartbeat. A landmark building which has dominated for over 100 years, and defines the hopes and aspirations of the city. Since its revolutionary beginnings the building has been an inspiration to those who both enter and view from afar. Today it provides an inspirational workspace for some of the most ambitious companies in the city, offering spectacular amenities which are truly unique. 3 Inspired by your surroundings Liverpool has seen an astonishing change over the last 10 years, not only with a new wave of landmark developments but the re-establishment of a vibrant, cosmopolitan waterfront environment in which to both work and relax.
