Getting to Anfield
Liverpool F.C.
Anfield Road
Liverpool
L4 0TH
Anfield is easily accessible from all major routes into Liverpool. The ground is only 3 miles from the city centre, 4 miles from the M62 and 7 miles from the end of the M57 and M58. The ground is well signposted from the city centre. Weekday visitors to the club can park in either the Main Stand or the Centenary Stand car parks, except on mid-week match-days and subject to available spaces.
Alternatively Anfield is easily accessible by public transport(see below)
Getting There...By Car from North Wales and Wirral
From the end of the M53 or A41, pass through one of the Mersey Tunnels (Toll Fare). Whichever tunnel you use you should take the A59 (North/Preston) as you leave the tunnel. Follow this road until you see signs for the A580 (St. Helens and Manchester). As you reach the junction where the A59 meets the A580, keep in the right hand lane (A580), which turns right after the lights onto a hill (Everton Valley). As the road climbs up the hill at the start of the A580 (Everton Valley) keep in the right hand lane. After the first set of traffic lights use the right hand filter lane to turn onto the A5089 signposted Anfield. Anfield is down this road (Walton Breck Rd) on the left hand side, but you'd better start looking for somewhere to park before you get that far!
Getting There...By Car from the North
Leave the M6 at Junction 23 and take the A580 (East Lancashire Rd) signposted to Liverpool. Follow the A580, passing under the M57 (11 miles) then under a railway bridge (2.75 miles) finally (0.75 mile later) turn left onto the A5058 (Queens Drive) towards Widnes. Proceed for 0.5 mile turning right at the lights into Utting Avenue. Pass under railway bridge which continues into Arkles Lane. The ground is just to the right at the far end of Arkles Lane, but you'd better start looking for somewhere to park before you get that far!
Getting There...By Car from the South and East
At the Liverpool end of the M62 keep in the right hand lane and take the signs for A5058 (Queens Drive). Stay on the A5058 passing St. Matthews Church (2.5 miles) finally turning left (in 0.5 mile) at the lights into Utting Avenue (Asda should be just visible on the right as you approach the lights). Pass under railway bridge which continues into Arkles Lane. The ground is just to the right at the far end of Arkles Lane, but you'd better start looking for somewhere to park before you get that far!
Getting There...By Train
Lime Street Railway Station is two miles from Anfield. A taxi from Lime St. will cost about £3.50 for up to 5 passengers. Buses go from nearby Queen Square Bus Station. On match days use the Merseyrail network to link with the Soccerbus service from Sandhills Station(see below).
Getting There...By Bus
Take a 26 (or 27) from Paradise St. bus station or a 17B, 17C, 17D, or 217 from Queen Square bus station directly to the ground. The 68 and 168 which operate between Bootle and Aigburth and the 14 (from Queen Square) and 19 stop a short walk away.
Getting There...By Air
Liverpool Airport is approximately 10 miles from the Ground, and taxis should be easily obtainable. Alternatively, you can catch the 80A bus to Garston Station and change at Sandhills for the Soccerbus service(see below)
The Soccerbus Service
Leave The Car At Home On Match Day!
Soccerbus - the direct bus link from anywhere on the Merseyrail Network via Sandhills Station to Anfield
Soccerbus - frequent shuttle buses from Sandhills Station, on the Merseyrail Northern Line.
To Anfield for all Liverpool home Premier League and Cup matches.
Soccerbus will run for two hours before each match (last bus from Sandhills Station is approximately 15 minutes before kick-off) and for 50 minutes after the final whistle (subject to availability).
Whatever your rail journey, for just 50p extra you can book your Soccerbus trip in advance. Just ask for a through ticket to Anfield by Soccerbus at any ticket office in the country.
Or you can just pay as you board the bus - each single journey will cost 50p.
Soccerbus is free for those who hold a valid TRIO, SOLO or SAVEAWAY ticket or Merseytravel Free Travel Pass.
To check train and bus times for different match days and kick-off times call the Merseytravel Line on 0151-236 7676 (8am - 8pm, 7 days a week - minicom system available)
The Anthem
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
