Liverpool city centre is the commercial, cultural, financial and historical centre of Liverpool and the Liverpool City Region, England. Different definitions of the city centre exist for urban planning and local government, however, the border of Liverpool city centre is broadly marked by the inner city districts of Vauxhall, Everton, Edge Hill, Kensington and Toxteth.
At the 2023 United Kingdom local elections, the population of Liverpool city centre was 36,770 based on the five electoral wards that officially make up the city centre.[1] Over 6 million people live within an hour of Liverpool City Centre and by 2022, almost 80 million people visit the City Centre every year.[2][3]
Liverpool was granted borough status in 1207 and the original seven streets of the settlement now form part of the central business district of Liverpool city centre. Many of Liverpool's most famous landmarks are located in the city centre and in 2019, Liverpool was the fourth most visited city in England for domestic visitors and the fifth most visited city in the UK for international visitors.[4]
Liverpool city centre is one of the most architecturally significant locations in the country.
