City Tour
Liverpool Lime Street stands next to the Liverpool Walker Art Gallery and opposite St. George's Hall. The Walker Art Gallery, opened in 1877, is the largest art gallery outside of London and is also known as the national gallery of the North. The collection is famous for its medieval oil paintings, most notably the 16th century King Henry. Portrait of Henry VIII and portrait of Queen Elizabeth I.
St. George's Hall is considered to be one of the best preserved neoclassical buildings in the world. It is part of Liverpool's World Heritage Site and is listed as a Grade I listed building by the National Heritage List of England. In the past, the St. George's Hall was the center of the city, where concert halls and courts were located. After the renovation, it was reopened in 2007 and many event exhibitions are held here.
