Can I walk to Albert Dock from Lime Station?

I presume you meant Liverpool Lime Street Station, the train station.

Yes, you may. It is about 10 minute walking distance. All you have to do is follow the direction on the street or ask the scousers even if you dont have a map.

Albert Dock is much more worth seeing than Chinatown.

Yes you can and as hopeful says, it's about a 10 minute walk...it's also well signposted...

You can, but it's very disappointing. Most of the shops there are shut. There's nothing worth seeing.

Hopeful is a bit like his name, I would allow 15-20 minutes.

If you are tired, you can go by train from James Street to Lime Street

If you stand at St George's Hall, (that the big building across from Lime St Station) and look down the hill and across the skyline you should be able to see the Liver Buildings. The one with the Liver bird on the top. You should be able to judge the distance. Stay to the left of this building to get to the Albert dock. It's about a twenty minute walk. I hope you enjoy Liverpool. While your there go to 'Ye old crack pub' and the 'Philharmonic Pub' on Hope Street, the toilets are over 80 years old and original in the gents. One word of warning, don't take sides on Everton V Liverpool.

Eventually. It used to be a 15-minute brisk walk but since then the hated bunch of clowns presently running the City Council have turned the city centre into a building site and dug up the dock road (which you will have to cross to get to the Albert Dock) so it'll take a good deal longer because of all the obstacles.


I have lived here all my life yet when I went to see the Turner Prize Exhibition at the Tate Gallery I was completely unprepared for the wet, muddy and ridiculously convoluted walk I had in order to get there. This major and important exhibition wasn't even signposted!

Despite that it's still quicker to walk than attempt to drive or go by taxi. The roads are gridlocked with car-addicted Southern carpetbaggers who have inundated the place over the last few years looking for easy money. Many of them apparently employed by the so-called 'Liverpool Culture Company' which has been responsible for all the headline-grabbing failures to do with the European Capital of Culture.

With any luck they'll all piss off home in 2009
