00:00 Attracting over 22 million visitors per year, Liverpool 1 is one of Europe's leading retail
00:07 and leisure destinations. Built around the existing streets of the city, the 1.65 million
00:13 square foot contemporary open-air complex completely transformed the city centre when
00:18 it opened in 2008.
00:19 Now we can't talk about Liverpool 1 without mentioning the shopping. Whether you're just
00:25 window shopping or looking to blow the budget from high street to high end, there are plenty
00:30 of options. Explore both floors of South John Street with big department stores like John
00:35 Lewis and M&S. Along South John Street you'll find high street brands including Zara, a
00:41 short stroll to Peter's Lane and you'll find Harvey Nichols, Beauty Bazaar and Jo Malone
00:45 London.
00:48 The origin of Liverpool's fortune can be found buried underneath Liverpool 1, revealed during
00:53 excavations on the site in 2001. The story of the world's first commercially enclosed
00:59 wet dock is explored on the Old Dock Tour. This hidden gem lets visitors back to see
01:05 a large portion of the old dock rising more than 20 foot from the bed of the pool, the
01:10 creek that gave Liverpool its name. Tour guides can explain how an innovative feat of engineering
01:15 shaped Liverpool's destiny forever.
01:17 There's plenty to keep you entertained with a multi-screen cinema, crazy golf and an escape
01:23 room. Gravity Max occupies the site of the former Debenhams store at Lord Street. The
01:28 huge £10 million venue opened its doors in August 2023. Spread across two floors there
01:35 are tons to explore including bowling, an e-cart track, AR darts and batting cages to
01:40 name just a few. The decor has plenty of local references dotted around too including some
01:45 lamb bananas. They also have live music on offer here.
01:49 From your favourite chains to local independents, you won't go hungry here. With food to satisfy
01:54 both the most adventurous palates and fussier eaters alike. From Mexican, French and Japanese
02:00 cuisines I could actually go on all day, there's so many. From a grab and go snack or casual
02:05 dining to a more upmarket feel, whatever mood you're in there's something to suit most budgets
02:09 too.
02:11 The crown jewel of Liverpool 1, Shavast Park is five acres of open space and beautifully
02:15 landscaped gardens. Providing an oasis of calm in the city centre, serving as a special
02:21 place for events. It was named after local war hero Noel Godfrey Shavast, one of only
02:26 three British subjects to be awarded the Victoria Cross twice. It's retained its green flag
02:32 status for over a decade.
02:34 With over 170 stores, bars and restaurants, a 14 screen cinema, indoor golf courses and
02:40 five acre park at its heart, you can spend an entire day and night here and not run out
02:45 of things to do. It spans across five areas, Paradise Street, South John Street, Peters
02:50 Lane, Hanover Street and the leisure terrace facing Shavast Park. It's at the heart of
02:56 the city centre and it is easy to forget just how much of an impact it has had on Liverpool's
03:01 regeneration.
