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

Engineering work can affect weekend services into Liverpool; check the operator close to the match.

Local event

Local arrangements

Arrangements can vary by fixture — check your club's supporter information before travelling.

Ground note · unverified

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

Ground note · unverified

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