Anfield is easily accessible from all major routes into Liverpool. The ground is only 3 miles from the city centre, 4 miles from the M62 and 7 miles from the end of the M57 and M58.
The ground is well signposted from the city centre. Weekday visitors to the club can park in either the Main Stand or Centenary Stand car parks, except on midweek match-days and subject to available spaces.
Getting there by car from the North:
Leave the M6 at Junction 23 and take the A580 (East Lancashire Road) signposted to Liverpool. Follow the A580, passing under the M57 (11 miles) then under a railway bridge (2.75 miles) finally (0.75 mile later) turn left onto the A5058 (Queens Drive) towards Widnes.
Proceed for 0.5 mile turning right at the lights into Utting Avenue. Pass under railway bridge, which continues, into Arkles Lane. The ground is just to the right at the far end of Arkles Lane, but it's best to start your search for a parking space before you get that far.
Getting there by car from the South:
At the Liverpool end of the M62 keep in the right hand lane and take the signs for A5058 (Queens Drive). Stay on the A5058 passing St Matthews Church (2.5 miles) finally turning left (in 0.5 mile) at the lights into Utting Avenue (Asda should be just visible on the right as you approach the lights).
Pass under the railway bridge which continues into Arkles Lane. The ground is just to the right at the far end of Arkles Lane but you are best sorting out your parking space before you get that far.
Getting there by car from North Wales and Wirral:
From the end of the M53 or A41, pass through one of the Mersey Tunnels. Whichever tunnel you use you should take the A59 (North/Preston) as you leave the tunnel.
Follow this road until you see signs for the A580 (St Helens and Manchester). As you reach the Junction where the A59 meets the A580, keep in the right hand lane (A580), which turns right after the lights onto a hill (Everton Valley).
As the road climbs up the hill at the start of the A580 (Everton Valley) keep in the right hand lane. After the first set of traffic lights use the right hand filter lane to turn onto the A5089 signposted Anfield. Anfield is down this road (Walton Breck Road) on the left but look for somewhere to park before you get that far.
Getting there by Train:
Lime Street station is about 2 miles from Anfield and will cost about £5.00 in a taxi. Buses go from nearby Queens Square Bus Station. On matchdays use the Merseyrail Network to link with the Soccerbus service from Sandhills Station - see below for details.
Getting there by Bus:
From Paradise Street Bus Station, take a 26 or a 27 which stop outside the ground.
From Queens Square Bus Station, take a 17B, 17C, 17D or 217 which stop outside the ground.
The 68 and 168 which operate between Bootle and Aigburth both stop a short walk away from Anfield, as do the 14 and the 19 from Queen Square.
The Soccerbus Service:
Soccerbus is the direct bus link from anywhere on the Merseyrail Network, via Sandhills Station, to Anfield on matchdays.
The Soccerbus will run for 2 hours before each match (last bus from Sandhills approx. 15 minutes before the kick-off) and for 50 minutes after the final whistle, subject to availability.
Whatever your rail journey, for just 50p extra you can book your Soccerbus ticket in advance. Just ask for a through ticket to Anfield by Soccerbus when you purchase your ticket.
Or, just pay as you board the bus - each single journey is 50p.
