Travel

Liverpool is well connected both within and outside of the UK and there are a number of ways to travel to the city.

Travelling by rail
For those within the UK, or if you are flying into London airports, rail is the best way to travel to Liverpool. A number of long-distance rail services operate direct services from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street, with a journey time of just over two hours. Liverpool Lime Street is a 10-minute walk to the conference venue and main hotels in the area.

You can plan your rail journal using National Rail.

Travelling by coach
There are a number of coach services that travel into Liverpool from all around the UK, including National Express, Flixbus and Megabus. Most coaches go into the Liverpool ONE bus station, which is a 20-minute walk from the conference venue and main hotels in the area.

Travelling by plane
Liverpool is served by two nearby international airports – Liverpool and Manchester.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport connects Liverpool with over 70 destinations across the UK, Europe and Africa. Travel to and from Liverpool Airport is simple via direct bus routes, including the express bus route 500, which takes around 25 minutes into Liverpool City Centre. You can book this online and it costs under £5 each way, arriving into the Liverpool ONE bus station, which is a 20-minute walk from the conference venue and main hotels in the area.

Manchester Airport, just 45 minutes away by car, brings even more domestic and international destinations within reach.

By car
We recommend using public transport where possible but if you are driving Liverpool is accessible via the M6.

If you are travelling from the North, leave the M6 at junction 26 and follow signs for M58 Liverpool. Follow to the end of the M58 and then take signs for A59 Liverpool.

If you are travelling from the South, leave the M6 at junction 21A and take the M62 to Liverpool. At the end of the M62, follow signs for Liverpool City Centre.
