For anyone who is a super fan of the ‘Fab Four’, Liverpool is the place to be.
The Beatles spent their youth here, performed their first gigs, and even formed the iconic group in the city.
Because of this, the city is home to many incredible Beatles locations; so if you’re looking to take a trip to Liverpool from the Luma Hotel Hammersmith, you can grab a room in the Heeton Concept Hotel Liverpool, and enjoy the city.
Let’s take a look at the best self-guided Beatles based walking tour of the city.
