Many of Liverpool’s attractions are based around The Beatles and many visitors to Liverpool want to visit Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s childhood homes south of the city centre.
Paul McCartney lived at 20 Forthlin Road and it is here that he first met John Lennon. Many early Beatles songs were written here.

Tours last around 2½ hours, although you should allow three hours as the National Trust recommend that you are ready and waiting for the tour at least 15 minutes before it is scheduled to start. Tours run several times per day between March and November and must be booked online through the National Trust website.
George Harrison’s and Ringo Starr’s childhood homes (12 Arnold Grove and 10 Admiral Grove, respectively) are not owned by the National Trust so it is not possible to visit these. However, you are able to see these from the outside if you take the Magical Mystery Tour.
