William Brown Street

Why go

The Walker Art Gallery, World Museum and Central Library sit close enough to compare as one civic ensemble, with St George’s Hall nearby. The street shows how Liverpool invested port-era wealth in public learning and culture; pick one or two interiors if time is limited.

What to look for

• Walker Art Gallery, World Museum and Central Library in one civic cluster
• The nearby scale of St George’s Hall and its public setting

Useful to know

• Choose one or two interiors before arriving; the buildings can occupy much more time than the short walk between them.
