Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. It was founded as a borough in 1207. Liverpool is the fourth largest city in the United Kingdom and is a city that has thrived on imports and exports such as sugar, spice and tobacco since its beginning. The city’s port has played an integral role in Liverpool’s wealth, and fame –as a great port, the city drew thousands of Irish and Scottish immigrants, and its Celtic influences are still apparent. Between 1830 and 1930, the port was also the beginning of the journey to the New World for over nine million emigrants – mostly English, Scots and Irish, Swedes, Norwegians and Russian Jews. Although the port has been hugely important in putting Liverpool on the maps – the Beatles also had a hand in increasing Liverpool’s popularity as well! Nowadays some of the city’s most popular tourist destinations are Beatles related, but there are also other great places to visit including Liverpool Cathedral and Walker Art Gallery. Students interested in studying English courses in Liverpool will find that there is plenty to do in this lively city. Students who plan to attend English school in Liverpool can visit some of the famous locations in the city such as the Royal Liver Building, St. George's Hall, and the World Museum Liverpool.
