Princes Road Synagogue

Located in the Toxteth area, the synagogue is an active house of worship that welcomes tourists through pre-booked guided tours. For 2026, tours are generally scheduled on selected weekdays and Sundays, with tickets costing approximately 10 pounds. These guided sessions are the only way for the public to view the lavish interior and learn about the building’s history. Services are held every Saturday morning for the Jewish Sabbath, and while visitors are welcome to attend for worship, they must email the office in advance for security clearance. The synagogue features accessible entry points, and there are basic facilities on-site for visitors. It is essential to book your tour tickets online via official ticketing partners like Ticket Quarter.

Because the synagogue is a sacred Orthodox Jewish site, visitors are asked to dress modestly; shoulders and knees should be covered, and men are typically expected to wear a head covering (kippah) inside the sanctuary, which is often provided at the entrance. Security is a priority, so avoid bringing large bags or suitcases, as there are no storage facilities. Photography is usually permitted during guided tours but is strictly forbidden during religious services or on the Sabbath. Since the building is an active community hub, it may close on short notice for weddings or funerals. Always check the Jewish holiday calendar before planning your trip, as the synagogue will be closed for tours during major festivals such as Passover or Yom Kippur.

Princes Road Synagogue is located just over a mile from the city center, making it easily accessible. The most convenient way to reach it is by bus; the 75, 80, 86, and 86A services run every few minutes from the Liverpool ONE bus station and stop at Upper Stanhope Street or Egerton Street, both just a two-minute walk from the synagogue. If you prefer to walk, it is a pleasant 20 to 25-minute stroll from Liverpool Lime Street station through the historic Georgian Quarter. For those driving, there is limited on-street parking on Princes Road and surrounding side streets, but be sure to check for permit restrictions. Taxis and rideshare services from the city center are also plentiful and typically cost around 8 to 10 pounds.
