Getting to the Creative Campus
The Creative Campus is conveniently located less than a mile from Liverpool's main railway station, Liverpool Lime Street, making it easily accessible by foot or public transport. If you're traveling by bus from the city centre (Queen Square Bus Station), several routes serve the area:
-
Buses 21 and 345 travel along Shaw Street and stop directly in front of the Creative Campus
-
Buses 12, 13, 14, 14a, 14b, and 19a stop on Islington near Staples, which is just a two-minute walk from the campus
-
Buses 13, 17, 18, 21, 23, and 101 also provide access to the area
If you're driving, the Creative Campus is accessible via the M62 and M56 motorways. From the Wallasey Tunnel (Kingsway), follow signs toward Scotland Road/Byrom Street, then turn left onto Shaw Street at the second set of traffic lights. The campus is approximately 100 yards on the left-hand side, opposite The Collegiate.
Limited on-site parking is available at the Creative Campus.
