Review
The U Boat Story is not only amazing but totally unique when it comes to tourism in this country. There are only a handful of these U Boats on show anywhere around the world, and I feel proud to say Britain is one of those rare places that have one on show.
Costing five million pounds not only is this seen by its owners as a huge tourist pull, but also they feel as if they have a part to play in the U Boats preservation. This preservation is clear to see upon a visit to the site, where you can now get up, close and personal with a vessel that would only be seen before in old war movies.

Miller & Carter
At Miller & Carter we know a thing or two about steak. In fact, we could say that we're one of the best steakhouses in Liverpool. But we'd rather leave that to your judgement.

Fab 4 Yellow Submarine Hotel
A unique experience to stay on the yellow sub. This was originally built around the concept of the sub in the film THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER with Sean Connery.
