Survival on the ‘posh’ Liverpool streets that have gone 'right down’

There’s very little of Liverpool you can’t see from the top floor of the Novotel hotel in Paddington village.

Situated at the cusp of the city centre and Kensington, the hotel offers officially the highest rooms in the city - thanks to the steep slopes it was constructed on. Everything from the Welsh Mountains can be seen on one side, the entirety of north Liverpool, the Sefton coastline and Knowsley on the other.

In closer view, just a few streets over, you can just about see a large mural painted on the side of a building featuring the words ‘Kensington Fields’. The building appears like a regular social club, but it is also home to the Kensington Fields Community Association.
