  If you're starting from Liverpool Lime Street Station, exit the station and head southwest on Lime Street toward St. George's Place. Cross over the road and continue straight onto St. George's Place. Follow the road as it curves to the right and turns into William Brown Street. Continue walking until you reach the end of the street, where you will see St. John's Gardens on your left. Turn left onto the sidewalk next to the gardens and follow it until you reach the junction with the A5038 (Lime Street). Cross the road at the pedestrian crossing to continue onto the A5038. Follow this road until you reach the roundabout; take the second exit onto the A5036 (Liverpool Road). Continue straight until you reach the Albert Dock on your left. Walk along the waterfront until you see signs for Canning Dock, which is located at Hartley Quay.
