Traveler reviews
O'Toole UK
★★★★★2 months agoA truly special visit that every Beatles fan should make. John Lennon’s childhood home is a remarkable place — modest, authentic, and incredibly moving. What makes it even better is that Strawberry Field is just a short walk away, so you can take in both in one unforgettable trip. The house itself has been lovingly preserved and gives you a real window into John’s early life and the world that shaped one of the greatest songwriters who ever lived.

★★★★★Edited 4 months agoThe second home of the Beatles to visit while on the Beatles trail. It's a long walk starting from Liverpool city centre but very worthwhile if you are a good walker you see all the childhood homes of the Beatles walk through some of the iconic places connected to the fab 4 inc Penny lane, Strawberry Fields pick a lovely day take a flask and sandwichs and enjoy the walk.
