00:00I would say the coolest place in Liverpool and Merseyside is right here where we are now.
00:07Liverpool, I love Liverpool for its coolest places. West Kirby, Crosby, we go to the coolest places.
00:17I would say the Alba Dock itself because it's a nice scenery and it's a nice relaxation as well.
00:24But I think the coolest place in Liverpool is St Albans Dock. It's so beautiful.
00:30Each time I go there I keep on wanting to go back. I'm not tired of going there.
00:35Even in the night, the sparkles.
00:38You've got the water fountains which is behind me and you've got the playhouse which is in front of me
00:47and you've got Radio City.
00:50There's loads of places. There's loads of places in Liverpool. There's nothing in London where I came from.
00:57Located on the outskirts of the city centre, the Baltic Triangle is brimming with bars, street art and creative businesses
01:05as well as Cains Brewery Village and the hidden gem that is Red Brick Market.
01:10Box Park has just opened its first site outside of London and Mersey Rail is hoping to welcome passengers
01:17to its ÂŁ100 million Liverpool Baltic station from 2025.
01:22Basically, you've got the main attractions of places and buildings in Liverpool
01:29which is the city centre, the heart of Liverpool.
01:35The uncoolest place at the moment is Southport. It shouldn't be but it is.
01:42We like New Brighton but there's nothing there. They've taken everything away.
01:47The worst experience of New Brighton was they took away Wetherspoons.
01:55Now that was a hub for people to meet and everything like this.
