Sitting in the northern part of the city, Anfield is undoubtedly Liverpool’s most famous area with a landscape carved out by rows of terrace houses and thriving high street, but dominating the skyline is Anfield Stadium, rising above the area in the way a church rises above the homes of its parishioners.

Whether a football fan or not, living in Anfield and near to an iconic tourist destination has its benefits as it is with this world attention that has led to the regeneration of the whole neighbourhood that surrounds the ground. This involves adding new retail units and space for bars, restaurants and street food vendors to open up, creating a whole new dimension to the area that has not been seen before.
