cheers 
yes true indeed haha but what i was looking for is if anyone knew any streets in particular
Your car is as safe in Liverpool as in any other city. I’ve just got home from Liverpool a few hours ago. I’m there every month, sometimes twice a month. It’s a great place.
Forget the rumours and bad press. Liverpool is officially the 5th safest city in UK according to the current police crime records. It’s a friendly city, very cosmopolitan, and a great choice for a student who wants a lot of distractions, which Liverpool has in abundance, but therefore not great for actually getting some studying done without a bit of self discipline, which is true of many other cities in UK.
However Liverpool street space is as bad as any other city too, and around the Unis (there are three of them, each with a number of campuses) you’ll be looking a long time for a decent bit of free parking.
The University of Liverpool is mostly centred around the very busy Mount Pleasant area not far from Lime Street Station.
The School of Tropical Medicine, the Dental Health Hospital, The medical and biology faculties, Chemistry and Physics are all within a few minutes walk.
The National Express coaches from Birmingham and London use that route into Norton Street Bus Station from Warrington and Edge Hill. We were ages getting through it as usual yesterday evening. Solid with traffic.
Then we waited for our delayed Isle of Man ferry to arrive and I got home at 1am instead of 11pm after a rough crossing.
The good news is that beer is cheaper in Liverpool than in most of UK, the nightlife is fantastic and the Liverpool ladies have their own style of (almost non) dress for going out, which makes even street watching a very enjoyable experience.
It’s even more buzzing than when I wrote this

Parking though isn’t enjoyable at all and uphill from Lime Street it’s basically a nightmare but with an occasional bit of serendipity thrown in just to get a smile.
Liverpool people do a lot of smiling. It’s a happy city, and it’s growing fast economically with new developments almost everywhere.
Except for free parking spaces in convenient places. Just like anywhere else these days.
There are some back lanes off many of the streets in the area, and some don’t have yellow paint all over them. The office workers get them filled quite early in the morning but it’s worth a walk around when you get there to find them and you might get a fairly permanent spot if you keep the car in it all day so nobody else gets it.
In the evenings the revellers tend to use taxis and night buses rather than risk driving into town. There are night buses to almost every part of Liverpool and taxis are cheaper than in most of UK so getting back home or to digs or the student flats isn’t a great problem.
Have fun there. Liverpool is great.

I’m looking for a hotel thats near Liverpool University and a big car park?
I’m going to an open day at liverpool university and I need to book into a hotel for the night before, I need somewhere which is kindly situated near both the university campus and a big car park. anyone have any ideas?
Try the Liner hotel - just at the back of Lime Street Station - has quite a big open air car park that you can use for about a fiver a day - within 10 minutes walking distance of the University Campus.

A lot of the city centre hotels have car parking too - like the Ibis, Campanile, Formula 1 (I’m presuming that as a student you’re wanting somewhere relatively cheap) as well as the hilton.
Buses up to the campus from the city centre are very frequent if you dont want a 20 minute uphil walk.
Is there a park and ride in liverpool?
We are coming down for one night and will arrive in Liverpool around 9pm on Friday night (staying at the city centre Travelodge) and will leave about 6ish on Saturday evening. Is there somewhere we could park and ride (to the North of Liverpool) or could park them flag a taxi? If not, is there anywhere we can park for the whole time not too expensively?
there are loads of city centre car parks in Liverpool but overnight is not going to be that cheap in most of them. THere are also a handful of pay and display NCP ones on wasteground which might not necessarily be that secure overnight.
One or two hotels though have a £5 a day parking scheme - notably the Liner hotel next to Lime Street station and the Ibis on the Strand (waterfront) - where you’ll need to park up then get a permit from inside the hotel. - The strand one would be relatively handy for getting buses from the liverpool one bus station up to the north of the city - and either of these will have loads of black cabs in the vicinity.
how far is sefton park from liverpool city centre?
how much would the taxi cost to get there?
Do you mean the Park or the area. Sefton Park is the largest park in South Liverpool and two to three miles from Central or Lime Street Station.
One side is best approached from Aigburth and the other from Ullet Road. I suspect that you are moving into student accommodation there. If you are, be careful as a student you are an easy target. When my wife worked in a bank she often had a youngster in saying they had this wonderful accommodation just by the Park. Next thing they had been broken into. Liverpool is no worse than any other large city but beware as a student in unfamiliar surroundings you are vulnerable for the first term anyway to the efforts of the local shits.
On the positive side you will find that most people have time for you and are friendly, helpful.and will laugh with you not at you. Most students look back on their time here with affection.
£5 or £6 at the most at a guess because I do not generally use a taxi
