Aigburth is a great cost-effective choice for those studying at any of the city centre campuses and for medical students.

Named one of The Sunday Times top 10 best places to live in the North West, Aigburth is in south Liverpool, an area of the city 20 minutes away from the centre and renowned for its greenery.

Key leisure attractions include the sprawling Sefton Park and quirky Lark Lane, a vibrant street famed for its selection of bars, cafés and restaurants. With direct Merseyrail connections and quick road access into the city centre, Aigburth is a strong choice for students at both the University of Liverpool and LJMU who want a lively, green neighbourhood on their doorstep without living in the middle of it.

A short bus ride will take you to the New Mersey Retail Park where you’ll find a selection of high street shops, a cinema complex and dining options such as your favourite nationwide Portuguese chicken restaurant.

A little closer to home, Otterspool Promenade offers beautiful views over the Mersey, plus a skate park and adventure centre with a café and an ice cream parlour, perfect for when family come to visit.
