July 8, One-day Tour information
One-day tour itinerary
Conference Venue
The conference will be hosted at the University of Liverpool. The Address is: Chatham Building, Chatham Street, University of Liverpool, L69 7ZH
The University campus is located in the heart of the city of Liverpool, close to many major transport links. For example, it’s only about 10-15 minute walk from Liverpool Lime St Station and about 10 minute walk from the Paradise St bus Station.
Access
Liverpool has excellent national and international transport connections, making it easily accessible by road, rail, sea and air. Travelling around the city is also easy with a convenient and easy to use local transport system. Liverpool city centre is compact with good signage – you can walk across it in 30 minutes. Locals are also more than happy to give directions – the “UK’s Friendliest City” (Conde Nast Traveler Magazine).
Most of the hotels, shops, attractions, bars and restaurants are within walking distance of each other, making it easy for delegates to get around and explore the city. Taxis (Black Cabs) in Liverpool are plentiful and all are metered. There are also circular city centre shuttle buses every 10 minutes.
By Air
Two international airports serve Liverpool. Manchester International Airport is a 45 minute car journey to Liverpool City Centre and is also served by an hourly direct train service (journey time one hour). Manchester is a long-haul hub airport.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport is 20 minutes from the city centre and offers hundreds of direct flights from 60+ European cities, as well as several domestic airports. Liverpool is a ‘no-frills’ airline hub. KLM offers an Amsterdam-Liverpool shuttle three times a day which connects Liverpool with 650 world-wide destinations. Half-hourly bus shuttles connect the airport to the city centre, stopping at the major hotels and the main bus interchange. Metered taxis from the airport are plentiful (typically £12-£15 to city centre).
By Road
Liverpool is well connected by a dense motorway network (M62, M56, M57, M58). As with most city centres, chargeable parking is available but we would recommend that delegates arrive by public transport.
By Rail
Virgin Trains operate 18 trains per day between London Euston and Liverpool Lime Street, taking just over two hours to arrive in the heart of the city from the capital. There are regular services between Liverpool and most other major UK cities.

Bookings are subject to availability.
Other hotels of varying prices and ratings are available nearby, which an easy search will locate. Some options include (listings shouldn’t be interpreted as endorsements):
Visa
If you are not a British Citizen or a citizen of one of the European Economic Area (EEA) countries, you may need an entry clearance (or visa) before you travel to the UK.
We recommend that every non-UK delegate checks their entry visa requirements for the UK. The UK Border Agency has an informative website, giving details about which nationals require a visa and the application process, including an online version. We would recommend that all international delegates apply for their visas early to ensure they have the correct paperwork at time of travel. We have no authority over visa decisions.
