Transport to and from Liverpool
Liverpool and the surrounding Merseyside area use several postcodes: L for Liverpool, Bootle and Huyton, CH for Birkenhead and the Wirral (across the River Mersey), WA for St Helens and Warrington, and PR8–PR9 for Southport.
If you live on the Wirral or in Birkenhead, tell us at the start: although they are close to Liverpool, they are reached through the tunnel and the route is planned separately.
In the city, postcodes L1–L8 cover the centre and nearby districts (Anfield, Everton, Kensington, Toxteth), while higher numbers – for example L20 for Bootle or L36 for Huyton – cover the surrounding towns.
