Has anyone gone from London (Russell Square Station area) to see the Beatles' Penny Lane exhibit?

Care to share where the Penny Lane Exhibit is located? I’m not into guessing or assuming?

Are you talking about Liverpool, where the Penny Lane street sign and the "shelter in the middle of the roundabout" are located?

Yes eptld,
My cousins want to see penny lane and thebeatles exhibit. In Liverpool. I don't know anything about it, but they asked if they could go (I am helping them make their travel arrangements). I appreciate your help, I thought that even though I many not know much about this, everyone else probably does) ;)

I believe the trains run from Euston/London to Liverpool Lime St and take 2.5 hrs on Virgin trains. You should book early to get a discount. Only you can decide if it's worth it though it's a long train ride for a day.

I’m quite familiar with Liverpool, you’ll have to get more details. Yes, it’s easy to take a train to Liverpool although it’s a two hour or so train ride each way so it makes for a very long day trip. It’s far better to stay overnight for a day or so. Book in advance, walk up fares are eye wateringly expensive.

The easiest way to see Penny Lane is through the Magical Mystery Tour, it’s a bus tour that hits a lot of Beatles sights and it does stop at Penny Lane where you can get a selfie with the sign. It’s about £15 or so.
There are also Beatles taxi tours available which might make sense for a group.

In London, there are also Beatles sights walking tours from London Walks, they’ll include Abbey Road. They’re excellent for a Beatles fan.

The Beatles Story Museum is on Albert Dock, right next to where the Magical Mystery Tour begins. It’s a bit expensive but fun. There’s also a new Beatles museum on Mathew Street which is also where the Cavern Club recreation is. The Magical Mystery Tour ends there.

Get some more details and I’m happy to help. I’m a huge Beatles fan and am quite familiar with Liverpool.

Just when you want to visit Abbey Road in London don't go to the station with the same name. It is the wrong one.

Abbey Road is just north of Lords Cricket Ground near Circus Road and Finchley Road and the St Johns Wood tube station on the original part of the Jubilee Line.

thank you Dale!
that's exactly what i was hoping for. i really appreciate you taking the time.
thank you Nigel, good to know!

I can highly recommend the Magical Mystery Tour bus in Liverpool. As with train tickets to/from London, you'll want to book in advance. Your bus ticket gets you free entry to the rebuilt Cavern Club, which only serves drinks (no food. It's right around the corner from the Hard Day's Night Hotel, which has an "Any Time At All" menu including sandwiches and other light fare, and is a blast to visit in its own right.

Hey Guys,
My cousin was thrilled with the information and really wants to do this. We found the Magical Mystery Tour bus tour but, when we tried to buy the train tickets on Virgin trains but it said there weren't any trains to Lime St on Sunday May 26th. What are we doing wrong? Could this be true? Are there other train companies that service London to Liverpool??? Thank you!!!!

bank holiday.

quite likely.

London Northwestern also go that way, but there's a fair chance that they won't over the bank holiday either.

elaborating:- look at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/213116.aspx
