are there any streets near the university of liverpool to park on for free?
apparently there are no permits available so i could do with knowing any nearby streets to park on.
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.

Re: Cheap/Free Parking in Liverpool City Centre
——————————————————————————–
I park in the casino car park on renshaw street when i go shopping. Its free to join and the car park’s free.
I’ve been told if you go down Wood Street and do a right down one of the little side roads, there are no yellow lines and it’s totally free parking. I haven’t tried it myself, but apparently it’s at the back of the Argos on Bold Street.
Hope this helps.
How do you get to Upton Park Stadium from London Stansted?
How can you get to Upton park Stadium from Stansted Airport, and how much does it cost? I know there is a train that runs from there, but I’ve got no idea how much it is or what stations it will go to. If anyone could do some kind of route plan from Stansted Airport that would be great! Thanks.
Take the National Express Coach to Stratford. Take the No 104 bus from stop D.
This will be much quicker and cheaper than going via Liverpool Street.
How would I get to Thorpe Park from stansted airport? Quickest route plz? Thanx?
I am from Glasgow & have booked cheap flights to London Stansted & hope to spend the day at thorpe park but have never been to London before. Plz help!
I assume you’ll be travelling using public transport? You need to get the Stansted Express to Liverpool Street then get the tube (Circle line to Embankment then change onto Bakerloo line) to Waterloo then get an overhead train to Staines (Thorpe Park- there used to be a shuttle bus from Staines to the park, I imagine there still is)
