Getting there

  • Bus from Lime Street — The 917 and other matchday services run direct from the city centre to Anfield.
  • Walking via Everton — A 30-40 minute walk uphill through Georgian Liverpool for those who fancy it, well signed on matchdays.
  • Driving — M62 to the A5058 Queens Drive; the stadium's own car parks need pre-booking, with street parking heavily restricted nearby.

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Liverpool diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Anfield Road is very tight for space around the ground — arrive well before kick-off as queues build early for big fixtures.

Ground note

Post-match buses and the walk back into the city centre are extremely congested; allow plenty of time.
