Away Day Guide – Liverpool
Everything you need to know ahead of our next trip to Anfield, home of Liverpool FC.
Next visit: December 14th, 2024. Kick-off 3PM UK time.
GETTING TO ANFIELD
BY CAR
Remain on the M62 until the end of the motorway, where you should stay on the right and follow the signs for ‘Football Stadia’ along the A5058 Ring Road (North). After around three miles, take a left at the traffic lights (where the McDonald’s will loom into view) into Utting Avenue. Stay on Utting Avenue for a mile and then turn right at the Arkles pub for Anfield.
BY TRAIN
Most Fulham fans will arrive at Liverpool Lime Street on trains from London. Lime Street is about two miles from Anfield so, whilst walking is an option, a taxi (approximately £8) or making use of Kirkdale or Sandhills stations are probably more suitable options. Kirkdale is closer to Anfield than Sandhills, but the latter has the benefit of being ideally located for the use of the special Soccerbuses that run on a matchday (£3.50 return for adults, £1.50 juniors). Supporters should ask for a return to Anfield as the train ticket is then valid for the Soccerbus as well.
BY BUS
To get to the stadium from the city centre, use the 917 and Soccerbus service that shuttles fans direct to Anfield from three and a half hours before kick-off, when the game is over, buses will be departing from Anfield, 10 minutes after the final whistle.
917 service operates from Commutation Row in the City Centre near to Lime Street Station and the return service departs from Walton Lane after the match. Buses will be stacked on Walton Lane from the junction with Walton Breck Road to Anfield Road.
Adult Return – £4.00 Young Person – Day – £2.20 (MyTicket)
You can also get the number 26 from Liverpool ONE Bus Station Number 17 from Queen Square Bus Station
BY TAXI
There are two taxi ranks at Liverpool Lime Street, one at the front and one at the back of the station. Uber and Bolt are also available taxi services that service the city.
PARKING
FOR CARS
Fulham fans should be advised that there is no longer ample parking at Stanley Park as these facilities are reserved for permit holders only and the streets surrounding the stadium are within a strictly-monitored residents’ parking zone. The nearest place to park for visiting fans to Anfield is actually at Goodison Park (£10), although The Dockers’ Club at Waterloo Dock on Townsend Lane (A580) has offered £5 parking this season. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Dockers’ Club to the ground. Alternatively, park in the city centre and walk or take the bus to Anfield. You can park in Mount Pleasant car park which is a 5 minute walk from Lime Street station for £5.
FOR BICYCLES
The Cycle Hub is a FREE service that allows fans who cycle to the game to drop-off and park their bike safely and securely with an attendant. The Cycle Hub is situated at the top of Stanley Park Car Park, a few minutes’ walk from the Anfield Road end of the Stadium. Simply ride to the Cycle Hub, where staff will register and secure your bike. Please ensure you have a cycle lock with you. You will be given a receipt which must be presented on collection.
ENJOYING THE AREA
AWAY PUBS
Many pubs in Liverpool City Centre will cater to away fans, but some will ask visiting supporters to cover up any colours. The designated away pub is The Arkles, a brilliant Greene King venue, on Anfield Road (77 Anfield Road, Anfield, Liverpool L4 0TJ). It usually gets very busy on matchdays so if, you are looking for a pre-match pint, it is advisable to get there early.
FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS
Liverpool city centre has a wide range of cafes and restaurants to enjoy pre-match, with places such as Bold St and Seal St good locations to head towards. Closer to the stadium, County Road has a selection of places for quick-bites pre-match.
The Lion, County Road – Sri-Lankan/Japanese fare.
Fat Hippo, Bold Street – burgers and hearty meals in the city centre.
