Anfield

Home of Liverpool FC — one of football's great cathedrals

Address Anfield Road, Liverpool, L4 0TH

The home of Liverpool Football Club since 1892, and one of the most atmospheric stadiums in world football. The Kop end — once a vast standing terrace, now an all-seater stand — is the spiritual home of the club's support, and on European nights the singing genuinely raises the hair on the back of your neck.

The stadium tour and museum cover the club's six European Cup wins, eighteen league titles, and the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 in which 97 supporters lost their lives. Match-day tickets are difficult to come by; non-matchday tours run daily. The "This Is Anfield" sign above the players' tunnel is the famous photograph spot.

A story
The famous "You'll Never Walk Alone" tradition began in the early 1960s when Gerry and the Pacemakers covered the Rodgers and Hammerstein song from Carousel. The Kop took to it instantly, and it has been sung at every home match since — making Anfield one of the few stadiums in the world with its own anthem.
