First Time in LIVERPOOL! The UK's Most UNDERRATED City? 🇬🇧

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for watching! 👀 Click the link below to see all of the recommendations mentioned in this video (thanks to our friends at Mindtrip)! mindtrip.ai/z/mMvTXi

[@1974imajica]

It’s not the UK’s most underrated city at all, why have you fabricated that title?

[@chocod1352]

I'm upset that you didn't get to see most of my city I would love for you to come back and I'll personally show you around if you want take you under Liverpool One to see the old dock and the Williamson Tunnels plus both cathedrals and all the free museums and galleries

[@tjc89]

First of all thanks for coming. O wpuld also say never ever call it the Kay-vern quarter. Its Cav-en. Also its 'The Phil' or Phil-amonic - you never pronounce the H. Opposite the Phil is The Casa Bar on Hope Street which is a very socialist place wkrh a lot of history about Liverpool dockers. Tbe Phil does lovely chicken pies. Next time go to Goodison Park Everton , go see the Naked Men Anthony Gormley sculptures at Crosby Beach and go to Bold/Castle Street for food and The Lion Tavern and Roscoe Head and Thomas Rigbys and Ship and Mitre for a pint. Also you didn't have a bowl/pan of scouse! It's basically our answer to Irish stew. Normally the Anglican Cathedral or Metropolitan Cathedral restaurants do it. Also next time go in the Catholic cathedral crypt. As for the Albert Dock I'd reccomend Docklands Fish and Chips and Ruben's coffee and Italian canolis etc. As for the museums Liverpool has a very left wing trade union industrial abolitionist history (The Roscoe Head pub is named after an abolitionist MP) . Maybe come back when Evertons new stadium in tbe Kings Dock is open and go walk around the Tobacco Warehouse. Glad you made a video on my home city voted along with Glasgow which is extremely similar to Liverpool as the friendliest city in the UK. We also have rhe most parks and listed buildings outside London and films use Liverpool due to its Georgian architecture to pose as London.

[@alfresco8442]

Few people notice it, but the two salons in the Philharmonic are called Brahms and Liszt, because in rhyming slang that is the phrase for 'inebriated'. Liverpool humour. 😊 The Grande Lounge between them is featured in a surprise visit by Paul McCartney. It's towards the end of a video here called Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke, with James Corden.

Some info and pronunciation helps. That would be Lie-ver building and Lie-ver bird. Cunard is Q-nard The Port of Liverpool building is a rejected design for the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral The road behind the three graces is the original shore line. Not Elvis, Billy Fury. That would be Cah-ven club.

I was in Liverpool quite recently and found it to be a lively place. The transport links are very good and I found the underground tube system particularly useful.

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for sharing! It’s a great city indeed 😍 We had actually only used the commuter boat but even then it all went smooth! Next time would try to use more of the transportation for sure!

[@stephenjones9153]

​@JayandKarolina I would like to recommend you visit the Main Museum and also the Library next door and the Walker Art Gallery next door again, they are to the right side of St.Georges Hall as you Come out of Lime Street station . The Museum and Art Gallery and Library are all Free. You could spend a whole day just in the Museum 😊.

​@@JayandKarolinaI meant to say when you visit again 😊

​@@stephenjones9153I second this, the World Museum is incredible, I'm 39 now but used to visit there almost weekly as a child. The Walker is an amazing art gallery too with world famous exhibitions. But the library is something else. Absolutely beautiful.

Hey guys, I'm glad you enjoyed visiting my city. ❤ Liverpool sometimes gets a bad rep. (Usually from people who've never visited) Not only do we have beautiful buildings, a lively atmosphere but us 'scousers' are known to be friendly & quite comical too. We also like to give everyone nicknames you'd both simply be known as 'J & K.' Come back soon. 👋🏻 😉

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for the insights! That’s why we continue our mission of showing off the places for what they really are! We had such a great day out in Liverpool and the truth is that it’s a wonderful city but people who speak badly about it are probably focusing on the general issues that apply to most of the big cities :)

[@marnfulda1758]

The actual name of the bird should be pronounced Lyver...lie ver not liver also the building itself is the Lie ver building not liver. Its just a local thing you wouldn't be expected to know.

Scouser here. Great that you enjoyed Liverpool. Both of the cathedrals have interesting stories, and, as you saw, the stained glass in the Catholic cathedral is amazing on a sunny day.

[@neilgodwin6531]

"If you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare" The Scaffold. 1960's. My gran's dad was a scouser. His parents were refugees from the Irish Famine. In the 60's, it seemed like the Anglican Cathedral would never be completed, while the RC Cathedral went up very quickly.

[@JayandKarolina]

It’s a shame we couldn’t enter the first one but it’s a good reason to be back soon! Absolutely love the stained-glass windows and this cathedral was a special one indeed 😍

[@martinconnelly1473]

@@JayandKarolina Most visitors to Liverpool miss out the Metropolitan Cathedral, which is their loss. I went to a few events in the Metropolitan Cathedral soon after it opened and would recommend it to any visitor to Liverpool, there are plenty of gothic cathedrals around the UK to visit but the Metropolitan Cathedral is very much a singular building. I also worked on Saturdays (and school holidays) in Lewis's department store and the view out of the window looked over Central Station towards the Anglican Cathedral. Central Station was being remodelled to cater for the underground line and the last cranes were coming down from the outside of the Anglican Cathedral when I was working there.

[@Stuntchicken007]

The birds on the Royal Liver building are pronounced Lie-ver birds as is the building (Lie-ver building) .. Bella looks out to sea to protect the sailors and Birtie looks over the city to protect the people

[@JayandKarolina]

Dam! I’m sure the lady at the ferry terminal told me this and I forgot to pronounce it right 😅 Thanks for sharing this!

[@danensis]

and "Cavern" is pronounced "Cav en" not "Cave urn".

[@BennyBlanco481]

Do you know what was on top on the liver building before the birds ?

[@UJSupanova]

​@@BennyBlanco481Nothing, they were designed as part of the building when it opened. They were the symbol for Royal Liver Insurance and given the name the Liver Birds. Liverpool was originally called "Liver(sometimes Lyver) by the pool" until 1207 when it was given the name "Liuerpool" by King John in his letters patent.

[@neilgodwin6531]

The "birds" were made by the Bromsgrove Guild, who also made the main gates at Buckingham Palace (their name is on the lock). The Liver Birds are so big, a special, huge workshop was built on a hill in Bromsgrove, visible from much of the District. I passed the Guild buildings on my way to school. Unfortunately, the Guild has ceased operating and the Liver Birds workshop has been demolished for luxury apartments. There are photographs of the Birds under construction. The Guild also made various items for the Titanic. Nowadays, a different Bromsgrove company makes the medals given to those on the Honours List. Look at HD photos of recipients proudly displaying their awards, you may be able to see "Worcestershire Medals Services, Bromsgrove" inside the lid of the case

[@spookygeek9459]

is amazing that’s why I moved to Liverpool from Birmingham 👍👍👍

[@JayandKarolina]

Liverpool definiely has its own unique vibe 🥳

[@tootsieb11]

The Albert Dock was named after Prince Albert who officially opened the dock in 1846. The docks dominated global trade at the time. The use of cast iron, brick and stone was the first fireproof design to be used in Britain.

[@JayandKarolina]

That's why it's beautiful that the docks have become an important part of this port city - just in a slightly different, more touristic way 🥳☕️

[@peterwhitaker4038]

the statue at 11:14 isn't Elvis..it's Billy Fury. often dubbed Liverpool's Elvis.

[@JayandKarolina]

I was wondering why Liverpool had an Elvis statue - they even had an Elvis statue in Glasgow so I was like maybe there is some connection or something haha

[@martinquirk7468]

​​​@@JayandKarolinaI was filming the Billy Fury statue about twelve years ago when two married middle aged couples, American tourists, wandered up to it and asked me "So ... who is this guy?" - feeling mischievous I answered "Do you guys know who a chap called 'Elvis Presley' was?" They all looked at me as if I was crazy. "Of course we do." To which I returned with a slight physical guesture of mild surprise but satisfactory relief. Then I said " In Liverpool, Elvis was always known as 'the American Billy Fury.' and wandered away to hide my chuckling as their jaws slackened and their widened eyes and became suddenly transfixed on the staute.

[@SharingTravelMoments]

The phrase "happy as Larry" is a colloquial expression meaning extremely happy or content. It is primarily used in British and Australian English. The exact origin of the phrase is uncertain, but there are a couple of theories: 1. **Larry Foley**: One popular theory suggests that the phrase refers to Larry Foley, a famous Australian boxer from the 19th century. He was reportedly very successful and wealthy, leading to the association of his name with happiness and contentment. 2. **Larboard**: Another theory posits that the phrase might have nautical origins, with "Larry" being a playful alteration of "larboard" (an old term for the left side of a ship), used in conjunction with "happy" to describe sailors who were content when the sea was

[@anthonycunningham8116]

I wouldn't say that Liverpool is underrated. Infact as one of the most visited cities in Britain, its very much rated.

[@JayandKarolina]

In fact, Liverpool is often overlooked despite its rich cultural heritage or huge role in history as a key port city during the British Empire. We were keen to point out that people have often had negative opinions about various areas of the city, but despite the economic challenges, it has bounced back with a thriving arts scene and passionate sports culture, but people don't always give it the credit it deserves.

Also would recommend the cathedral gardens down the path just to the left of the entrance, an ex stone quarry now park and graveyard right in the shadow of the cathedral for some lovely views and much needed green space. P.S: the metropolitan cathedral may be modern, but the anglican cathedral was actually completed later than the metropolitan in 1978! It took 74 years to build however compared to the met's 5 years

Thanks for pointing this out Kevin! Maybe we didn't talk about it enough, but we hope every viewer will appreciate these beautiful buildings from times gone by :) Because indeed a lot of films have been made around them!

On 19.20 the red building used to be called the probe a record shop I used to go the in 70s 80s get my records a quite famous singer used to serve us before he was famous but still very scary lol his name is Pete burns

[@nickhaigh8322]

It stunk of weed too 😂

[@jabbra1837]

My dad used to shop there, apparently Pete always had something snotty to say about whatever particular record you were buying (unless he actually liked it obviously). It became something of a trend for him and his mates to shop there just to hear his pearls of wisdom 😂

[@Twirlyhead]

Those seats on the top deck are designed to float for folk to cling onto in the unlikely event that the boat sinks btw.

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks for the info! It would be so interesting to try it out one day haha

[@leekemp1398]

Not a bad review! First time watching your posts, I would recommend only two things for future posts - take some local advice beforehand, and actually give a summary review at the end rather than heading to another city to promote a new hotel, then just ending. It’s quite frustrating.

[@JayandKarolina]

Thanks mate! What should we have done different from a locals point of view? That's also a fair point - we're usually explaining how we feel about the place as we go through the video so we don't want to repeat ourselves at the end but it makes sense. We weren't supposed to stay at that hotel - we had a weird experience with our Airbnb and fortunately The Seven helped us out for a night so we got lucky and just wanted to showcase the hotel as a thank you.

[@calvinliu6304]

Hope you have time in Liverpool. Welcome to Merseyside

[@JayandKarolina]

We had such a blast that day! Loved the energy of Liverpool which was bursting with music, great people, cultural spots and amazing food options! 🎉🎶

[@JayandKarolina]

Definitely had a good time! Great place and great people :)

[@ludacris6212]

Was definitely expecting to see a visit to Anfield, but maybe next time.

[@neilgodwin6531]

And Everton? 😊 One of my cousins supports Liverpool, his brother supports Everton. Don't ask 😂

[@JayandKarolina]

I'm a Liverpool FC fan so I had been at the stadium before and was thinking to do it in this video but then thought that the tour around Anfield would be a completely different video topic on its own 😬 Could have shown the surrounding though!

[@alisonscurr4395]

Welcome to my home City. You have mispronounced a few places and building but as you are not from around here I forgive you. I'm glad you enjoyed your time there. The Liver building and birds, Bertie and Bella is pronounced lie-va. Opened in 1911, the building was the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. You are missing the R out of the Cavern Club. You kept pronouncing it cavin. It's pronounced Cav-earn.

[@EmoceanUK]

Good video, hope you enjoyed our city ❤

[@JayandKarolina]

We truly did! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@thomasbramwell8169]

I live in Liverpool

[@MattWhite-vh6xh]

Everyone misses the significance of the Brahms and Liszt salons in the Phil. 😀

[@ianclarke5404]

Liverbirds / liver building is pronounced lie..ver and the cavern club is pronounced cav..ern ,oh and a little aside ,st George's hall was Charles Dickens favourite venue .

[@rachaelbrown-f5v]

My nin (great grandma) is in a picture on the wall, where the docks are. She is sitting by a fruit and veg handcart ❤

[@JayandKarolina]

That's so sweet 😭😭❤️

[@KeepItRea7]

No Scousers use the word Nin anymore that's from way back in the day

[@scousenotenglish2819]

I live about 200 yards away from the Cathedral. I live on Upper Parliament street in a georgian flat. My bedroom view is of the back side of the cathedral.

[@JayandKarolina]

Not a bad view to wake up to ay!

[@danensis]

@@JayandKarolina - not so good if you want a lie in on a Sunday morning. The bells, the bells.

[@Stvalgore89]

The metropolitan (Catholic) cathedral actually opened before the Anglican cathedral. If you had gone to the top floor in the museum you would've seen the modle of the original design of the catholic cathedral

[@deiniolbythynnwr926]

It's a shame we never got the original. All we got was a concrete tent.

[@Stvalgore89]

@@deiniolbythynnwr926 yeh it would be amazing to see something of that scale. Would probably still be getting built now like lol

[@neilgodwin6531]

I remember in the 60's, some feared the Anglican cathedral would never be completed. I believe it was 1880 when an Act of Parliament was passed to build it, but it was 1904 before King Edward VII consecrated the site and two world wars, a pandemic and a Great Depression later, it was formally opened by Her Late Majesty in 1978.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

I think the difference with northern cities in the UK is people are far more down to earth and friendly. The south has better weather but I don't generally like the people from there. Liverpool now is miles better than it was pre mid 90s when it looked a mess. But it does tend to rain or be cold for most of the year!

[@JayandKarolina]

I haven’t travelled that much down South but I do think the more north you go the friendlier it gets!

[@raymondporter2094]

I didn't understand what happened with your originally intended hotel, but the one in Chester seemed excellent. And, to be fair, Liverpool seemed to offer a lot to the visitor. The pub you visited (the "Philharmonic") seemed an incredibly beautiful building and the city centre as lots of top-end shops No disrespect to any who cone from there, but Liverpool seems a lot better than I had expected. A really good video. But...please...Liver Bird to rhyme with "hive" of bees, and Cavern Club rhymes with Tavern.

[@JayandKarolina]

Haha sorry we didn't want to focus on the negatives but let's put it this way: we didn't feel secure leaving all our stuff in a suspicious looking Airbnb. But luckily, we partnered with THE SEVEN and it was an incredible hotel! We couldn't believe that you can dine with chandeliers in such a beautiful space ❤️❤️ Ate one of the best pies in our lives at the Philharmonic Dining Rooms indeed 😊 Sorry for the pronunciation mistakes haha so many people pointed it out so I feel a bit ashamed!

[@carolbain]

Great to watch your reaction to my city.

[@JayandKarolina]

Glad you enjoyed it! It probably gives you a completely different perspective :)
