Albert Dock today Albert Dock warehouses at night, viewed from across Salthouse DockToday the Albert Dock is one of Liverpool's most important tourist attractions and a vital component of the city's UNESCO world heritage Maritime Mercantile City. As well as being the number one tourist attraction in Liverpool,[45] the Albert Dock is also the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom outside of London, with in excess of four million visitors per year.[3] Amongst the many attractions at the Albert Dock are the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Beatles Story and the Tate Liverpool. There are also two hotels within the Albert Dock: a Holiday Inn and Premier Lodge both located in the Britannia Pavilion.[46] All the five warehouses around the dock, referred to as A, B, C, D and E, are Grade I listed buildings.[47][48][49][50] Also listed Grade I is the former dock traffic office.[51] Other buildings around the dock are listed Grade II; they are the former hydraulic pumping station,[52] and the swing bridge leading from the dock towards the Pierhead.[53] As at June 2009 Albert Dock's north-side car park and entrance from Mann Island is closed off and is a building site to build a new museum.[54] In the aftermath of the dock's regeneration in the 1980s a policy had been adopted to try and attract retailers into the newly created premises within. However, after many years of struggling to compete with other major shopping areas in the city, the Albert Dock Company Ltd announced in 2007 a shift into attracting more bars and restaurants.[55] As of 2008, bars and restaurants resident in the Albert Dock include Babycream, Blue Bar & Grill, Ha! Ha! Bar & Canteen, Spice Lounge, Circo and Raven.[56] www.liverpoolcitytaxitours.com
