Advantages: Leads onto many other Liverpool landmarks, with good shops and the home of the majourity of the bank/BS branches. And of course, McDonalds! Disadvantages: Not as good a shops as Bold and Church street, with less going on. But as a continuation to Church Street, well worth a stroll down.

An extension of Church Street, this street does not have as much to offer as Church Street, but certainly worth the walk (straight after the end of Church Street) up for other of the Pool's attractions if not for the shops. the first thing that will hit you is good old McDonalds. This massive place was refurbished and re-opened recently, with great value food, an upstairs with a fair view and a v. big seating area. But even this size gets full, crowded and very hot at busy times. The ques look bad when you first go in, but as long as you hold your ground they're usually v. good.

Lord St. has a number of bugjet jewellry shops, although nothing that you wouldn't find in another majour city. There's also a massive all:sports shop, a Stationary Box and What Everyone Wants (all 5 floors of this jumble sale, ahhh!). Home and Bargin is a smaller chain of stores based in the North-West, which sell big names at really low prices. It's popular, and well worth a visit. The mighty BHS has a massive store here, along with a big resturant. A good, inexpensive alternative to McD's. The Birmingham Midshires recently closed it's branch here, but refurbished it's new state of the art flagship branch in Bold Street, which offers a much better service in a unique setting. Talking of banks, this side of town is the home to the financial side of the city. There's the smaller banks here (C&G, Northern Rock, Bradford and Bingley and Nationwide).

There are facilities for cars to pass at the bottom of Lord St. and park in near-by roads, bit with buses being the best bet.
Southport located about 10 miles north of Liverpool is well worth a daytrip if your in the area. There is a nice quaint shopping centre based arround lordstreet with all the usuall shops and touristy shops. On the sea front there are lots of nice looking hotels i havnt stayed in any though so cant reccomend a good one. Ther is lots ofgreenery arround and the architecture of the area is very eyepleasing. The main attraction in Southport is Pleasure Land located near enough on the beach. Lots to do for children and Adults(big Children there are lots of rides including traumatizer a hang down rollercoaster, very impressive, allong with this there are lots of older rollercoasters. Not a bad day out. Finally to wrap the day off we ate in a lovelly italian restaurant located near the station. ...
Advantages: Clean, Excellent Service, Good Location, Well Equipped Rooms, True Value For Money Disadvantages: Small Car Park (but well managed by the owners)
The Ambassador Hotel has undergone a huge refurbishment and is now called The Ambassador Townhouse.
I stayed here in August 2008 for 5 days and had one of the most wonderful breaks I've ever had.
The hotel is located on Bath Street, directly behind the stylish and upmarket shopping haven, LordStreet. This puts it in a great location to access all the main parts of Southport, with many key places only a few minutes walk away (including the train station).
Internally, the hotel is spotlessly clean and has its own unique and very fashionable style. Great thought and planning has obviously gone into the refurbishment as all corridors and the public areas were extremely modern and well decorated. The whole place had a warm and friendly feel about it, from the comfortable bedroom to the corridors leading to them.
Sometimes though ...
Advantages: Good fun fair, good shopping, good golf. Disadvantages: No traditional seafront to walk along, noisy at night.
My partner and I visited Southport in 2000 to stay for a weekend in The Prince of Wales Hotel at the top of LordStreet. It was a nice enough break and the hotel was lovely, but Southport isn’t a place to which I crave to return.
The reason we chose Southport is that the hotel is part of the Paramount group and we have joined their Leisure Break club so we get discounts at the hotels in the chain. To be fair the hotel was lovely, although not quite as nice as The Imperial in Blackpool, which also belongs to Paramount. It was noisy during Saturday night and the early hours of Sunday morning as the clientele leaving the local nightclubs were very rowdy.
LordStreet itself is a street of mainly exclusive shops together with the representatives of the major stores so it’s a shopper’s paradise. Unfortunately as I ...
