We’ve dropped pins on Liverpool’s top 10 street art locations so you can add them to your map (and your Insta Story) as you embark on a visual treasure hunt around the city.

Top Street Art in Liverpool:

1. Baltic Triangle:

Baltic Triangle and its uniquely industrial past is a top tier location when it comes to spotting some of Liverpool’s most supreme graffiti and street art. The area is known for its connection to the historical docks and warehouses of the city and dotted around the crisscrossing, post-industrial streets you’ll find amazing art giving new life to old walls.

One Instagram capture not to miss is All Liverpool’s Liver Birds which popped up in the Baltic Triangle back in 2017. The huge copper-oxide green wings painted directly on brick by Paul Curtis has seen thousands of visitors and locals flock (pun intended) to pose in front of the outstretched wings and transform themselves into a human-bird hybrid. Even Queen Consort Camilla once made a royal splash joining in on the fun.

Make sure you don’t miss Wedding House on Great George Place where you will find an astonishing 50 ft photorealistic masterpiece. This massive mural by self-taught Brazilian urban artist Liam Bononi was painted in 2020 and captures a personal friend of the artist. Funded by the Liverpool Without Walls Culture Fund, it is a stunning fusion of modernism meets history on a Grade two listed, Gothic building. 

2. Jamaica Street:

You can’t go to Jamaica street and not check out this cheeky chimpanzee mural from 2017 by the founder of The Secret Society of Super Villain Artists. Silent Bill takes a controversial dig at a number of Banksy originals that were removed from Liverpool in 2013 and sold to private collectors with this large scale black and white mural.

3. Grafton Street:

An interactive mural inviting you to pose with the Abbey Road zebra crossing album cover is one not to be missed by Beatles fans. Painted by Paul Curtis, the piece was commissioned in 2019 for the album’s 50th anniversary. Located on the side of the Cains Brewery in the Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool, this immersive work plays with dimension and cascades from the wall to the ground, allowing Beatles fans to get retro and recreate the famous scene.

4. Jordan Street:

With The Baltic Triangle being a hub for lively football screenings, Jordan Street is a fitting place for fans to enjoy a large-scale mural of the Liverpool Football Club’s Boss. The incredible Jurgen Klopp mural was created by street artist Aske over two days in 2018, in celebration of Liverpool FC’s impressive 2017-2018 season.

5. Parliament Street:

Akse strikes again just outside the Baltic Triangle with a stellar tribute to Stephen Hawking painted on Parliament Street. The mural includes an inspirational quote by the scientist created in computer typeface that reads “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at”

6. Tithebarn Street

Ready for some girl power at a dizzying height? Tithebarn Street’s towering, 21 metre high artwork on the side of the landmark Tempest Building is one of the tallest murals in the North of England and it was created by all female street art group Nomad Clan. The empowering piece signifies new beginnings and flourishing entrepreneurship in the Liverpool city.

7. Oldham Place

Oldham Place is a hidden gem, not the sort of place you would casually stumble upon on a walk in the city but it’s bountiful with bold murals. Down the little cobblestone street the back parking areas are home to some immense talent, turning it into a mini Hall of Fame in Liverpool. Go time travelling with a gigantic Back to the Future piece that takes up a whole wall and some unique overlapping letter murals by Snotone are on display.

8. The Fabric District

In Eastern Liverpool a massive transformation is underway, creating an intriguing labyrinth of wooden construction panels that make the perfect street art canvas. The old heart of the city’s rag trade, the area has amassed an incredible string of street art from Aske, Philth, Ed Hicks, John Hyatt, Kelzo and many more.

9. London Road

In the city centre, on London Road you’ll discover some of London based street artist Mr Cenz’s iconic women painted in bright, psychedelic colours. Don’t miss one of Liverpool legend John Culshaw’s many masterpieces at the front of street food restaurant Sketch Bar Kitchen.

10. Sybil Road

Football fans don’t kick yourselves for missing this street, home to some cracker Liverpool FC murals. Anfield Wrap’s mural of local Alexander-Arnold serves as inspiration for Liverpool youngsters and was created in support of local charity Fans Support Food Banks. Directly opposite you’ll spot a mega piece commissioned by The Redmen TV to commemorate Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning success, under Jordan Henderson – the first Liverpool captain to lift the Premier League trophy.
