Liverpool’s L1 postcode has been crowned one of the UK’s coolest areas – from street art to buzzing nightlife, here’s what makes it special
Every year, cities, towns and villages from right across Britain battle it out to claim a spot on the coveted “cool” list. Experts assess everything from culinary offerings to community spirit and outdoor access before crowning the top 10 “coolest postcodes” spanning England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

This year, the Times has championed Liverpool – specifically the L1 postcode, which I proudly called home for four years.
The publication dubbed it the ultimate destination for “modern-day mop tops” pointing to Hollywood A-listers Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan, who’ve been soaking up the city’s atmosphere whilst shooting their Beatles biopic.
The Times wrote: “This L1 pocket neatly edges into the vibey Baltic Triangle, a historical area that’s now an engine room of converted warehouses, food markets and venues such as Camp and Furnace – which has hosted everyone from Mogwai to Martha Wainwright – as well as grassroots spaces like Arts Bar Baltic, a creative hub café-bar hybrid.”
Having lived slap-bang in the middle of the Baltic Triangle between 2018 and 2022, I can vouch for its magnetic pull.
Come the weekend, the area bursts into life as revellers from across Liverpool and beyond descend upon its buzzing bars, nightclubs, cafés and artistic haunts.
There’s never a dull moment – something exciting is always happening. The neighbourhood boasts four key attractions that are rapidly putting it on the map for visitors from beyond the city, reports the Express.
Street art
Every corner of the area showcases vibrant artwork that transforms urban spaces into living galleries. From tributes to the Beatles to the famous Liver bird wings, and an entire skatepark serving as a canvas for constantly evolving designs, the Baltic Triangle bursts with colour.

Visitors can stroll through what feels like an open-air exhibition of artistic expression.
Food
Hunger isn’t an option in Liverpool, particularly not in the Baltic Triangle. Central to the area is the Baltic Market, a sprawling food hall offering everything from burritos to pizza and Thai cuisine.
With vendors rotating regularly, there’s always something fresh to discover.
Nightlife
While the district buzzes during daylight hours, it truly comes alive after dark. Industrial warehouses transform into massive entertainment venues, hosting everything from DJ sets to live performances, and famously gave birth to Bongo’s Bingo.
There’s genuinely something to suit all tastes, whether it’s the Irish pub Punch Tarmey’s, Boxpark, Camp and Furnace, or neighbourhood brewery Love Lane.
Creativity
Simply passing through the Baltic Triangle can spark inspiration, thanks to the wealth of cultural happenings. The yearly Sound City music festival takes over its spaces, whilst Arts Bar Baltic regularly stages Books In Bars sessions where bibliophiles can find their next page-turner.
For those needing an energy boost, 92 Degrees Coffee and Ditto Coffee are available, alongside workspaces and conference facilities at Baltic Creative for productive sessions.
The local authority is expected to decide on an application for a project in Burniston, near Scarborough, involving a process known as “proppant squeeze” – a smaller-scale type of fracking which is not covered by the current moratorium.
Friends of the Earth warned on Thursday (April 9) that other communities could face similar developments nearby unless the government takes action to include proppant squeeze in the ban.
The government said it will “ban fracking for good and make Britain a clean energy superpower to protect current and future generations”.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting oil and gas from shale rock by pumping liquids deep underground at high pressures to release the gas trapped inside.
The government ended its support for the practice in 2019 after an Oil and Gas Authority report found it was not possible to accurately predict the probability of tremors associated with the activities.
However, proppant squeeze is still allowed because it uses lower volumes of fluid and sand.
In October, energy secretary Ed Miliband vowed to permanently ban fracking, warning the drilling was “dangerous and deeply harmful to our natural environment”.

Friends of the Earth said its concerns are growing that this pledge will not ultimately live up to local communities’ expectations if the low-volume fracking technique can continue.
While the Labour government ended new licences for onshore oil and gas, areas in the north, midlands and south east of England are already licensed for exploration and production, it warned.
The group also cited comments made by energy minister Michael Shanks, who told a Westminster Hall debate in December that the evidence base “is not there at the moment to suggest that low-volume hydraulic fracturing activities have the same associated risks as fracking for shale gas”.
In a report written for the campaign group, leading geologist Stuart Haszeldine, of the University of Edinburgh, outlined evidence that low-volume fracking activities at Preese Hall and Preston New Road in Lancashire in 2019 triggered earthquakes that were felt by nearby residents.

Prof Haszeldine wrote this demonstrated how earthquakes from both large volume and small volume fracking are “equally large and equally unpredictable”.
“Regulatory permission for low-volume fracking does not remove the risk of unpredictable earthquakes,” he added.
Ahead of North Yorkshire Council’s decision, Friends of the Earth said the volumes of fluid proposed for use at Burniston are higher than those used in the week leading up to the highest recorded earthquake at the Preston New Road site in 2019.
Tony Bosworth, a climate campaigner for the group, said: “The government has rightly committed to banning fracking.

“It has triggered earthquakes, blights our countryside, won’t cut UK energy bills, is deeply unpopular with communities and fuels the climate crisis.
“Ministers must reassure communities by banning all forms of fracking – failure to act will undermine Labour’s credibility.”

Mr Bosworth said planning authorities should also hold off on deciding fracking applications until the government’s position becomes clear.

Prof Haszeldine said: “Developers are probing to find exemptions from current rules.
“That means locations with sandstone or limestone reservoirs could be drilled and fractured with water and proppant to aid the production of onshore oil and gas, whilst earthquakes could be triggered or felt 15km away.
“The rules need to be more tightly written to safeguard residents against poorly understood effects, not simply hoping that developers get good outcomes.”
North Yorkshire Council will consider the application and its proposals when it meets on April 24 at Scarborough Town Hall.

Cllr Heather Phillips, the council’s executive member for corporate services, said: “We know that this is a planning application that has attracted significant public interest, with more than 1,500 representations made about the proposals.
“As is the case with all planning applications, members of the committee will carefully consider all representations prior to any decision being made.”
A government spokesperson said: “This is a decision for the local authority.
“We will ban fracking for good and make Britain a clean energy superpower to protect current and future generations.”
He is midway through the punishing cycle from Perth to Brighton, before he pulls on the trainers for the weekend’s marathon around the south coast city.
Perth lorry driver Danny Linney is racking up the miles in a different way as he takes on a gruelling endurance fundraiser for a cancer charity.
The 43-year-old is set to complete the first half of a punishing eight-day schedule which saw him set off from Perth on Saturday morning with the task of cycling all the way to the English south coast for a finish in Brighton.

But if hitting the pedals for a 550-mile journey through the changing weather conditions wasn’t tough enough, Danny will then run the 26.2 miles of the Brighton Marathon on Sunday.
It’s all being done to support Macmillan Cancer Support, with the cause one close to Danny’s heart after a close mate’s continuing fight with the disease.
Danny said: “There is a friend of mine and my wife’s who has got cancer just now and he is really providing my main inspiration for all of this.
“He currently has stage four cancer and just in the last year, I thought that while that has been going on, I came up with the idea of running the marathon as I’ve done a few of them in the past.

“But I wanted to do something different and the thought of cycling just came out of the blue really.
“I’ve got a bike in the shed and so that was me out training on it every day to get ready.”
An online fundraiser set up for the challenge has already soared past its initial funding target, with big-hearted locals and businesses already having committed more than £2500 for Danny’s efforts at the time of going to print.

“I’ve done some small challenges, but nothing on this scale – it’s off the chart really”, Danny continued.
“There is a strong head on my shoulders and I know the great work that Macmillan do in supporting cancer patients so it will be all worthwhile when I reach the finish line on Sunday.”
Danny has been supported by a number of local companies for his journey, including Binn Group, Simple Approach Estate Agents, PWD Driving Tuition, Perth Roofer, Fair City ABC, JM Richards Cycles and Daz Signs.

DUP MLA Gary Middleton is to step back from public life to deal with mental health challenges. The Foyle representative has said he will resign as an MLA on Friday.
Party leader Gavin Robinson has paid tribute to Mr Middleton, stating he had been a “dedicated and steadfast servant to people across the city of Londonderry and surrounding areas”.
Mr Middleton has been an MLA in the Northern Ireland Assembly since 2015, having previously been elected as a councillor.
In a statement released to the Press Association, Mr Middleton said: “Over the last few months, I have been suffering from a bout of ill-health which has significantly limited my ability to represent my constituents in the way I always have.

“I had hoped to be able to return to work and to recover, but I have come to the point of accepting that if I am to focus on getting back to full health, I cannot do this whilst remaining in public office.
“It would have been easier for me to withdraw from the political arena quietly and without explanation but I wanted my constituents and the wider community to understand that I am leaving public life because I am suffering significant mental health challenges.”
He added, “I am journeying through a difficult experience and have been for some time.
“I am receiving treatment thanks to the wonderful services afforded to me by our National Health Service.

“The support and encouragement from my family and friends, combined with the expert treatment I am receiving, has given me hope, and I can see a glimmer of light in what has been a very dark tunnel.
“In making this statement, I want to give encouragement to those who may be on a similar journey by highlighting that help is available.
“I have learned in recent times that it’s okay not to be okay.”
The statement concluded: “I want to thank all those who have supported me in Foyle over the years and who bestowed the privilege of electing me, first into local government and then to the Northern Ireland Assembly.

“Finally, I want to thank all my colleagues in the DUP for their support and friendship, to my staff for their loyalty and to my wife and family who have been my rock during this period.
“I will always be grateful for all the support shown to me.
“I will resign as a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly tomorrow (Friday).
“As I depart the public stage, I want to wish all those who serve the public and with whom I have had the privilege to serve alongside, regardless of party affiliations, every best wish for the future.”

DUP leader Gavin Robinson said his party colleague had been a “consistent voice for unionism in Foyle”.
He said: “As the sole unionist MLA in Foyle, Gary Middleton has been a dedicated and steadfast servant to people across the city of Londonderry and surrounding areas.
“Since 2015, he has been a strong and consistent voice in the Northern Ireland Assembly and was never afraid to stand up for what he believed was right.
“Elected in May 2011 as a Councillor at just 20 years of age, Gary was often the youngest in the room but earned the respect of colleagues through his incredible ability to articulate the concerns of the people of Foyle.

“In being such a clear and consistent voice for unionism in Foyle, Gary has at times faced threats from republicans.
“That pressure never silenced him nor deterred him, he continued to stand firm for his constituents and his principles.”
Mr Robinson added: “While we deeply regret that Gary is leaving public service, we will do all we can to support him.
“Gary’s focus must now be on his recovery, and he will have the support of colleagues, both inside and outside our ranks, on his journey.

“On behalf of the Democratic Unionist Party, I want to sincerely thank Gary for his years of service and dedication.
“Many people in the Foyle constituency have been positively impacted as a result of Gary’s devotion to his community.
Michael Campbell was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in February 2023 and died at NI Hospice. Just weeks befor ehis tragic death he shared a heartbreaking “still lots to live for and lots planned” message
Game of Thrones star Michael Campbell shared a heartbreaking post just weeks before his death in which he said he had “lots to live for and lots planned”.

Actor Michael Campbell, who appeared in the TV drama Blue Lights and Game of Thrones , has passed away aged 35. The celebrated performer, who secured one of Britain’s most coveted drama awards for a “legendary” wheelchair-bound interpretation of Richard III, had been battling motor neurone disease (MND) prior to his death.
The star, also known as Michael Patrick, received the devastating terminal diagnosis in February 2023 and passed away on Tuesday at NI Hospice. His wife Naomi shared the heartbreaking news on social media saying: “He lived a life as full as any human can live,” she said.
Naomi added: “Mick was an inspiration to everyone who was privileged enough to come into contact with him, not just in the past few years during his illness but in every day of his life. Joy, abundance of spirit, infectious laughter. A titan of a ginger haired man.”
Taking to Instagram in February, in what was his final Instagram post, he wrote: ” 3 years of having mnd. Still shite craic. Health update: Basically me and @nomsheehan were in hospital for over a week there – speaking to doctors and getting tests done etc. Talking about risks and implications of getting the trache put in. What day to day life would be like after the operation.
“In short I’m not going ahead with the tracheostomy. I had confirmation from it would be around 6-12 months before I could get home due to lack of staffing resources. Thanks so much to everyone who helped push this – from senior social workers, to politicians, to the chief executive of the hospital. Everyone has tried so hard, but there just isn’t the staff.
“Also, my neurologist gave us the news that I likely have about 1 year left (obviously he can’t say for definite and we still have hope for the drug trial to buy some more time too). So I don’t want to risk a significant amount of that time being in a hospital bed.

“Thanks so much for all the donations to the GoFundMe, even though I didn’t go ahead with the trachesotomy – it will still go towards providing me with specialist care as I enter the final stages of life. I’m still overwhelmed by all your generosity.
“Anyway – still lots to live for and lots planned – here’s my wee godson Micheál visiting me in hospital.”
Augusta National is notoriously ruthless with its no-phones policy at the Masters, and a winner of The Open Championship found out the hard way during a practice round this week
The Masters’ no-nonsense policy on mobile phones has no exceptions, as major winner Mark Calcavecchia found out on Tuesday.
Augusta National says it enforces the policy “to maintain a traditional atmosphere,” and the patron guide on its website reads: “Part of what makes the Masters such a unique environment is the lack of cell phones on the grounds.”
Calcavecchia, who played in the Masters 18 times and finished second in 1988, was doubtless aware of the policy, but Golfweek reports that the 65-year-old was caught red-handed and shown the exit.

“I’ve got nothing negative to say about Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters, so I think we should literally hang up right now,” Calcavecchia said in a brief phone call when quizzed about the incident.
There are very few places at Augusta National where cell phones are permitted. Members of the press may use their devices in the media centre, but they must leave their phones at their desks when stepping onto the course or attending a press conference.
Calcavecchia was attending the 90th Masters as a guest of Augusta National, which sends invitations to major champions of years gone by, although Greg Norman was snubbed once again — a move that left the former LIV Golf boss furious.
Other notable names have fallen foul of the policy in the past. Charlie Rymer, formerly of Golf Channel, was working for Westwood One in 2011 when he had his credential revoked for stepping outside the media centre to take a call. A tearful apology did not help his cause.
One-time major champion Keegan Bradley’s sister was also caught with a phone in her possession one year, but she was given a reprieve after bursting into tears.
He said at the time: “They were going to kick her out and she cried, and they let her put her phone in a safe and stay.”
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the bookies’ favourite to win this week, is a fan of the policy. He said: “Very peaceful. There are no people asking for selfies in the middle of the round. It’s very calm out there, and people follow the rules here. For us as players, it’s really an enjoyable experience.”
Ludvig Aberg agrees. He said: “It feels like the fans are a little bit more engaged in the golf. They’re a little bit more attuned to what’s going on. It’s a cool environment to play. It feels like good golf shots are being appreciated, in a different way.”
Metrocentre marketing manager Helen Atkinson said: “Now a firm favourite on the spring-summer calendar, our fashion and beauty weekender grows year on year – but never more so than in 2026, as we celebrate 40 years since opening.
“With support from our retailers and partners, we’re creating a weekend that truly reflects everything Metrocentre stands for – style, experience and something for everyone.”

Patrycja was only 19 years old when she found out she had cancer
A 20-year-old woman relied on a popular TV show and Google to understand her devastating cancer diagnosis. Patrycja Sobanska, from Peterborough, was just 19 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer in October 2024.

She first found a pea-sized lump on her neck, initially thinking it could be an infection. When it didn’t go away, she visited the GP four times before developing jaundice and insisted on a CT scan from the hospital.
After she had a CT scan, it was then revealed she had Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of fast-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). “I just started bawling my eyes out – I think that was just the normal reaction, I just didn’t know what to do,” said Patrycja.
Patrycja didn’t understand what lymphoma was, but heard about it on Grey’s Anatomy. She added: “At the time I did watch Grey’s Anatomy a lot, it was Grey’s that made me think I was ill.

“It was when I had my potential diagnosis and they said you either have sarcoma or lymphoma, I was certain I then had cancer since there was an episode in Grey’s where a girl got diagnosed with lymphoma.
Patrycja was treated at Peterborough City Hospital, and then Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. She underwent R-CHOP, a type of chemotherapy to treat lymphomas. While at Addenbrooke’s she was treated under the C9 ward, a Teenage Cancer Trust ward.
Patrycja said: “One of the junior sisters working on the day unit, Sandra, would always explain all of the chemotherapy and treatments I was having on the ward. It didn’t matter if it was my first time having chemo or my last, she remembered to take me through every step every time to ensure I was comfortable.”

Patrycja has praised the work of the Teenage Cancer Trust during her treatment. She added: “Teenage Cancer Trust’s youth support coordinator, Hannah helped arrange ringing the ‘end of treatment’ bell. She mentioned that the bell is located in the paediatric ward and how sometimes it can be hard to see others ring the bell.
“So, Hannah arranged with me to set-up my bell ringing in the garden of Addenbrooke’s Hospital. Hannah had put up bunting and letters that spelled out ‘Patrycja’s bell ringing’ wrapped around a tree.”
Patrycja is calling for better communication for 13 to 24 year olds when being diagnosed with cancer. Dr Louise Soanes, chief nurse at Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “The way in which we talk about and explain cancer is so important, but it’s a difficult subject and can be incredibly challenging.
“However, one conversation can change everything for a young person. The right words at the right time can make all the difference – and we must all do our best to get it right.

“Our expert nurses and youth workers across the UK support young people with cancer through all kinds of conversations. And whether you’re a health professional, a friend, or loved one of a young person who struggles to find the right words, or you don’t know what to say, you can find help and guidance about cancer conversations on the Teenage Cancer Trust website.”
Belfast actor Michael Campbell has died at the age of 35. An online death notice for the actor, also known as Michael Patrick, said he died on Tuesday at NI Hospice “surrounded by his loving family and friends”.

The award-winning actor has worked on stage, TV, film and radio productions. Recent theatre work includes his autobiographical play My Right Foot, and The Tragedy Of Richard II.
On television, he has appeared in This Town, Blue Lights, Krypton and Game of Thrones. He had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in early 2023 and later began to use a wheelchair.
In a social media post, his wife Naomi said: “Words can’t describe how broken-hearted we are.

“It’s been said more than once that Mick was an inspiration to everyone who was privileged enough to come into contact with him, not just in the past few years during his illness but in every day of his life.
“He lived a life as full as any human can live. Joy, abundance of spirit, infectious laughter. A titan of a ginger haired man.”
She added: “We are so grateful for every person who supported us through the last few years.”
The Lyric Theatre in Belfast also paid tribute to Michael, saying they are “devastated” to hear of his passing. A spokesperson for the theatre said: “Michael has been part of the Lyric family for many years, from performing his first one-man show, I, Banquo to the incredible The Tragedy of Richard III in 2024, where his portrayal of Richard III made it a legendary production & one of the greatest performances ever on the Lyric stage.

“His work as a writer and actor has been hugely impactful and the great strength and dignity he showed in light of his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a great inspiration to us all. We at the Lyric pay tribute to his remarkable talent and send our deepest condolences to his wife Naomi, his mother and sisters, and all his friends, family and colleagues at this sad time.”
In his funeral notice, Michael was described as the “beloved husband of Naomi, devoted son of Pauline and the late Michael, brother to Kate, Maurice and Hannah, uncle of Micheál.”
The notice added: “Michael will be reposing in O’Kanes Funeral Home, 2 St Jude’s Avenue, Belfast BT7 2GZ, from Thursday 9/4/26, those wishing to pay their respects, are welcome to call Thursday, Friday, between 9.00am and 5.00pm.

“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts,” Comer said of Bondi last month.
