Thanks to the genius of Lennon and McCartney, Penny Lane is the most famous lane in the world. PLDT celebrates that unique heritage and has welcomed over 100,000 tourists since 2010. We’re a charity run by a small staff team and supported by volunteers. The centre’s presence in the area continues to grow and we are a thriving community hub and tourist destination. We are included on many tours, so ask upon booking. Guests love the history of the project and support us by purchasing unique souvenirs of Penny Lane or items created by local artists & authors. We have the unique ‘Beatles Wonder Wall’, Penny Lane street sign & our little yellow submarine Resurgam, discover its connection to The Beatles. Other Beatles sites in South Liverpool are within walking distance or a short drive from PLDT and staff are happy to help with directions. The PLDT global community is increasing year on year and the vast majority who visit have done so on a recommendation, now, money can’t buy that love!
