LIVERPOOL
Liverpool, this English city name is synonymous to the football teams and Beatles. Situated on northwest England by the side of River Mersey, Liverpool came into existence in 1207 when King John granted a Royal Charter to the city. It boasts of a highly prosperous past, which once had the potential to surpass London commercially. Believed to have derived from 'Liuerpul', meaning a pool or creek with muddy water, the city waterfront also served as the pedestal for the millions of immigrants who left from North America and Australia for a better living.
Liverpool’s rocky terrain by the Irish Sea has witnessed several historical developments. One can get a feel of the heritage from the huge number of castles and ancient accommodations of the city. Many of them have been converted to hotels and art galleries that provide a great opportunity for the tourists to peep into the interiors of the past era. The residents of Liverpool, better known as "Liverpudlians" or "Scousers" are a warm community who occasionally let their house or apartment for rent to give you a home away from home feeling. The unrivalled architecture of the city is present amidst the structures of St George’s Hall, Anglican Cathedral and Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King.
The address of 20 Forthlin Road at Liverpool has transformed as a pilgrimage for the Beatles admirers of the world where the group performed nearly 300 times. Bootle and Crosby in Sefton and Huyton in Knowsley form the city’s political landscape. The city is blessed with some exquisite food joints that serve lip smacking English cuisine. The amazing part is that the restaurants are reasonably priced enough so that you can enjoy it while staying at one of the hostels or bed and breakfasts. After relishing all these lures of the city, you can never miss the vibration of loud cheers by the crazy Liverpool football fans filling up the air.
