St Nicholas Church Gardens used to be a favourite place of mine when I worked in the city centre. It was the perfect place to escape the hectic business district of Liverpool and go somewhere peaceful and idyllic for a short while.
St Nicholas Church Gardens is such a beautiful place. It is well maintained and looked after. It has benches but also has a lot of space on the neatly cut glass to stretch out, sunbathe or read a book.
This is the only place I know the in business district where you can actually get away from things and destress for a while. It seems unbelievable that more people haven’t found this place but I am glad that they haven’t as this would spoil it’s peaceful charm.

St Nicholas’ Church couldn’t be anything other than ‘The Sailor’s Church’. Although mere feet from offices crammed with PCs and juddering printers, stepping into the gardens here is like stepping into a hardier, more windswept corner of the city. Seagulls whirl and screech overhead and the wind comes whipping into your eyes from across the river.
Until 1767, when Georges Dock was built (now crushed beneath the Liver Building), the tide used to lap against the churchyard’s outer wall, a spot now occupied by the thundering traffic of the Strand. In 1849, it was closed to burials and now stands as a windswept patch of grass to suddenly find yourself on during bleak afternoons.

Not only is St Nicholas’ hidden down at the very bottom of Liverpool’s seafront within the business district of the city centre but is surrounded by tall buildings making it totally unnoticeable to many of those pasing through town.
St Nicholas’ Gardens exudes a sense of history not simply from the very, very old church that has overlooked the docks and been a vision of hope to sailors for centuries, but the offices that have built up around it have a very diginfied quality to them. The of course there is Liverpool’s waterfront ahead of you overlookingthe Mersey River. The gardens is an excellent place to view these tremendouse buildings from.

If you want to see the Docks and the Liver Buildings from a different perspective then this little church garden is a great space to come and reflect, on a lunch break or when you have a spare second. The views are magnificent with a clash of the old and the new on the skyline.
St Nicholas is the Saint of Sailors (ahoy there!) and from its foundations up it is a beautiful piece of architecture which has been around one way or another since medieval times. Apparently, pre-​Liver Buildings (can you imagine the Liverpool skyline without it?) before a Dock was built the Mersey waters used to lap against the wall surrounding the garden at high-​tide!
They also have a statue dedicated to the victims of the Blitz here which is worth seeing.
I discovered this place at sunset… the sun setting the buildings aflame with an orange glow. It’s a great time to see the city from here.
