Going on a works night out in Liverpool next week, I wont be drinking as I will be in Miss Daisy, we are going to the Olive Press near Tithebarn street and I need safe parking in that area.

Anyone any ideas..?

I just dont feel safe getting the train back to Manchester at that time of night, strange because I didnt mind walking round Nagoya/Tokyo/Osaka etc in Japan till the early hours on my own, same in Kowloon.

TIA

Not very convenient parking for Liverpool though.

Have you done an internet search on secured parking, or spoke to the restaurant?

Don't know exactly where you want to be, but parking space around the university is available out of hours, specifically around the cambridge pub area.

I park my Elise in liverpool all the time at night and have never had any problems, just park on the main streets nearby. If its a well lit street then you will have no problem, there are loads of good cars around that area.

Come on guys, grow up a bit the whole Liverpool scallies/thief thing is a bit tiresome

Ignore the bigots. it's no different to parking in any big city. Some people need to stop taking their lessons from episoes of Boys from the Blackstuff.

The uni is a fair walk from the water front, but deffinately a safe place to park if you take a taxi. Its right next to the 'wigwam' (cathedral!)

i parked on the albert dock on the next street along from the crowne plaza without problem, and when i was there another time the crown let you pay to park in their fenced, guarded car park if you werent a resident (the guards come at nightfall in the form of the biggest bouncers ive ever seen)

IMO the best most secure parking in liverpool is the car park in queens square.

Its staffed by two security pretty much all the time, lots of cameras and only one normal entrance/exit. Even think its won awards for being a decent secure car park.

And the city isnt any worse than any other for crime.


Oh its not to far from Tithebarn street either

Thanks guys.

That NCP that won the award looks good as does the Crowne Plaza place.

What time did the security guys tip up..?

Aiming to get there about 7pm.

do you want a bodyguard for the night? I charge a fair rate (and not much to protect you either)

Thanks for the offer, its not me I am worried about. I just dont want a parking ticket or worse.

Thats why I have underground parking in Manchester, I hate leaving Miss Daisy anywhere I dont know.

The Olive Press is on Castle Street.

Now me being me, I get lost far too easily, so from the parking either at the Docks or the secure NCP, any idea how far it is from the resteraunt..?
