Where to stay in Anfield
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Most visitors who stay in Anfield are here for football, within walking distance of the stadium and the pubs around it. Few rooms sit near the ground. This is a residential district, so accommodation runs to guesthouses and rooms rather than a broad hotel scene.
Staying close suits supporters who want to be near kick-off and a quieter night away from the centre. For a wider choice of hotels and nightlife, the Liverpool city centre lies about two miles south, with Kirkdale and Walton offering more of the same low-key stay next door.

About Anfield
What are the main landmarks in Anfield?
Anfield itself is thin on formal sights. Its own landmark is the stadium; most of the listed attractions actually sit in the surrounding districts and the city centre beyond. Close by are Spellow Lane Church, Walton and St John the Evangelist's Church, Kirkdale, with St Mary's Church, Walton-on-the-Hill a short way north.
Larger cultural sights lie about two miles south in central Liverpool: the Walker Art Gallery, the World Museum and National Museums Liverpool, clustered near Wellington's Column. Radio City Tower and the Liverpool Beatles Museum round out that centre-city group.
What is the history of Anfield?
The district's story is bound up with its football ground. The ground came first. Anfield stadium opened as the home of Everton, who played there from 1884 until 1891.
A dispute with the club president pushed Everton to move to Goodison Park, and the site fell empty. Liverpool F.C. was formed in 1892 and has played at Anfield ever since, while the terraced streets around it grew as the city spread north.
Where is Anfield?
Anfield sits on rising ground in north Liverpool, a couple of miles inland from the River Mersey. Kirkdale and the docks lie to the west, Walton to the north, and West Derby to the east. The streets run in tight terraces.
Beyond them, the stadium and its surrounding lanes form the local landmark against which everyone measures the rest of the district.
