Baltic Triangle, when a neighbourhood becomes art

Baltic Triangle is in the city of Liverpool. Until a little less than a decade ago this city was known for being the birthplace of the legendary Beatles, and now it's also home to one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the United Kingdom and, for many, the most fashionable neighbourhood in the whole country. Baltic Triangle has regenerated the city's old dockland area to become a maze of streets packed with bars, restaurants, music venues and... of course! Art! Below we give you a short introduction to the places you can visit in this already legendary neighbourhood of the city. Get to know it!

Street art, an essential stop in the Baltic Triangle

This time we're moving away from the usual painting styles to step into the universe of street art, commonly known as graffiti. The question of what certain street artworks should really be called could fill an article on its own, so we won't go into detail. Liverpool is a living city full of picturesque corners, but in the Baltic Triangle those picturesque corners multiply by a thousand. So much so that there are several streets you have to visit if you want to enjoy the most impressive urban art in the city:

Oldham Place and car park

Our route starts very close to the graffiti shop that you should also get to know if you go to Liverpool. It hosts everything from exhibitions to sales of graffiti supplies. In Oldham Place you'll find all sorts of urban art pieces. In this square you can find artworks by artists who are well known in Britain, such as Snotone.

Parr Street

Walking down this street we won't only see three artworks by different artists, among them Elph, we'll also get to enjoy the classic working-class architecture of the city's industrialisation.

Lost Hills

At this venue you can see several artworks both inside and around the outside. There's even a version of "My Neighbour Totoro" on one of the walls!

Jamaica Street

This is possibly one of the most famous streets in the city, if not the most famous. An unquestionable symbol of the underground, rough-around-the-edges character of Baltic Triangle, it's home to the already legendary artwork by the artist Irony (a teenager having a drink) as well as the "Wings Atwork" (the famous wings that have been instagrammed 1001 times) created by the artist Paul Curtis. If you don't have time to get lost in each and every one of Baltic Triangle's streets, we recommend this one, since it's where you'll find the biggest concentration of quality graffiti. That said, if you have a couple of days, don't hesitate to explore every corner, because this neighbourhood is a centre of urban art with as much to offer as the most emblematic of museums! Give it time!
