St George's Hall

St George's Hall is one of the many fine Georgian buildings to be found in Liverpool.
Completed in 1854, it represents the prosperity in Liverpool in the 19th century. A regular visitor to the hall was Charles Dickens who held many of his readings in the 'Small Concert Hall'. The interior is dominated by the main hall 169 feet long with a floor of Minton tiles which is normally protected from the feet of the day to day users, but opened to viewing usually once a year.

Address: Lime Street

Radio City Tower

Standing 125 metres above the city centre, the Radio City Tower was constructed in 1965. Originally it housed a rotating restaurant, but this soon went out of business. It wasn't until 1990 that the local radio station took over the tower, which is now open to the public as an observation platform.
