A Tribute to Peace: The John Lennon Statue in Liverpool

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the center of Blackpool, head southeast on Promenade/A584 towards New Bonny Street/A5073. Continue to follow A584 for about 15 miles. Take the A565 exit towards Liverpool and follow the signs for Liverpool city center. Once in Liverpool, follow signs for Mathew Street. There is limited parking on Mathew Street, so consider parking in a nearby car park, which may incur a fee (typically around £2-£5 for a few hours). The statue will be located in the pedestrianized area of Mathew Street.

• Train

  From Blackpool North Station, take a direct train to Liverpool Lime Street Station. The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Once you arrive at Liverpool Lime Street, exit the station and head towards the city center. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Mathew Street. Simply follow the signs for the city center and then ask for directions to Mathew Street if needed.

• Bus

  You can take a National Express or Stagecoach bus from Blackpool to Liverpool. The journey may take about 2-3 hours, depending on traffic. Buses typically arrive at Liverpool One Bus Station. From there, walk towards the city center and follow signs to Mathew Street, which is approximately a 15-minute walk. Bus fares can range from £10 to £15, depending on the service you choose.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from Blackpool to Liverpool. This option is convenient but will be more expensive, with fares likely exceeding £50-£70 based on traffic and distance. The taxi can drop you off directly on Mathew Street, close to the John Lennon Statue.
