Where to stay in Wavertree
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Wavertree trades on being a suburb with its own centre, and rooms turn up along Picton Road and near the High Street rather than in any hotel district. Choice is thin locally. Guests who want the full range book toward Liverpool city centre instead, then come back out for Holy Trinity Church, the Gregson Memorial Institute and the walled ground of Toxteth Park Cemetery.
