“LiverCool”! …a phrase that will be used increasingly as Liverpool is now being hailed as the new Paris. With vibrant nightlife, a bustling cafe society, chic bars, colourful clubs, trendy shops and enough theatres and art galleries to challenge any cultural connoisseur. Described as cosmopolitan and bohemian, Liverpool above all else has truly become a modern European City drowning in culture and entertainment, a cultural hub for local, national and international people. Now twinned with New York and Dublin, Liverpool has more to offer than ever.
The City now boasts a new genre of talented professional individuals, adding to the vibrancy of this very energetic city. Although often compared with other cities, Liverpool is unique in a number of ways. The continuing success of Cream has had an amazingly energising and galvanising effect on the city. Cream has given the city a real focal point, whilst Baa Bar, the epitome of bar culture gave way to the explosion of the creative quarter. As an aesthetically beautiful City, Liverpool’s architecture is used as an authentic backdrop for many new films. The recent productions of Liverpool 1, David Copperfield and the rumours that Samuel L Jackson will be filming his new movie here is evidence that Liverpool is moving forward.
Also renowned for musical heritage, Liverpool will be hosting the prestigious ‘In The City’ music conference and ‘Radio One Sound City’ week. Music aside, Liverpool will also be the location for a major European Arts exhibition. Great Britain’s’ first ever ‘Biennial of Contemporary Art’. The City can expect an overwhelming warm up for the millennium, preparing for the ultimate celebration, organised by the internationally famed night club Cream with an outstanding and eclectic line up of events.

The RIBA award winning Liverpool One retail project was completed in 2008 by Grosvenor Developments and has set the benchmark for city centre regeneration. The 1.4 million sq. feet of retail space includes a 14-screen multiplex cinema and 230,000 sq. feet of restaurants, cafes and bars in addition to 600 new apartments, two hotels, offices, a five-acre park and a transport interchange.
Liverpool One is now a vibrant and economically successful retail, leisure and mixed-use quarter – providing Liverpool with an entirely revitalised city centre that now connects seamlessly with the docks, arena and museums on the waterfront.
The £75m Met Quarter retail development was opened in 2006 and is situated between Whitechapel and Victoria Street within the shell of the former Post Office building of 1894. Close to Liverpool One and the tourist magnet of Mathew Street the Met Quarter provides two floors of aspirational designer brands such as Gieves & Hawkes, L.K. Bennett and Jack Wills.
