Overview

This 90-minute evening walking tour explores Liverpool’s original seven streets and their historical significance. The tour begins with a visit to the exterior of Liverpool Town Hall, where the guide explains its architectural and civic history. Next, the group moves to Exchange Flags, a notable area with grand buildings linked to Liverpool’s commercial and political past. The route continues through narrow alleys and gas-lit lanes in the current commercial district, highlighting the city’s development over time. The tour concludes at Our Lady and Saint Nicholas Church, also known as St Nic's. Here, participants enter the Dead House, a medieval garden located beneath the church’s Gothic spire, accessed through a trapdoor. The Dead House is historically significant and was mentioned by Herman Melville. A professional guide leads the entire walk, providing historical context and commentary. Participants should be prepared for uneven surfaces and walking throughout. The tour does not include food, drinks, gratuities, or hotel pickup and drop-off. Children must be accompanied by adults, and the tour is not recommended for those with walking difficulties or certain medical conditions.
