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. You can take the food out and sit on the benches at the end of Church Street/beginning of Lord Street. Or, why not try the othet McD's at the top of Church Street turning left. This is usually more bearable at the peak times.
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).
However, walking straight up Lord St. you come out at Victoria Squ. In the middle is the famous statue of Queen Vic, with the Crown Courts and Scales of Justice Hotel other prominent landmarks. Down CastleSt. (just off Vic. Squ. is the location of the smaller building societies (Furness, Newcastle, Yorkshire and Brittania, along with the flagship HSBA. At the end of Castle St. is the town hall along with the balcony the Beatles appeared to the world. The Albert Dock, Pier Head, Liver Buildings and Mersey Rail station are all around Vic. Squ.
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.
Another feather in Liverpool's v. big hat!
