Simply Explore
We’re perfectly located in the Ropewalks district; in the heart of Liverpool. The name is derived from the craft of rope-making for sailing ships. It is characterised by its long, straight streets, running parallel to each other. The streets were built in this way to allow rope manufacturers to lay the ropes out during production. The area is still host to a number of historic 19th century warehouse buildings and provides a great backdrop to the businesses that now thrive in this memorable area.
Ropewalks is now a multi-cultural hotchpotch which embodies the cities openness and welcoming attitude. The area is now home to many of the city’s independent art galleries, a number of quaint cafes, bustling bars and independent boutiques.
