Lark Lane, Liverpool
Lark Lane is a street in Liverpool, England, noted for its cafés, bars, boutiques, music venues and bistros and has a bohemian reputation. Its proximity to student residences, open green space and the variety of bars and restaurants makes it a popular venue as an alternative to the city centre.
The street leads from the Victorian Sefton Park to Aigburth Road, and is situated between Sefton Park district and the Aigburth district. At the Sefton Park end, the street narrows at a pair of stone gateposts which mark the entrance to Aigburth Drive (the road around the park) and the park itself.
The street originally had a local police station, the elaborate building for which is now in use as a community centre. For a short time a nearby side road housed a motor museum, now a recording studio.
In 2017, the street's two longest running establishments, Keith's Wine Bar and The Albert Pub underwent significant renovation.
The nearest train station to Lark Lane is St Michaels, west of Aigburth Road in the former St. Michael's Hamlet.
In 2008, a novel was published, Angels Chic by Arjuna Krishna-Das, set largely around Lark Lane and its counter-culture circa 1990.

Sefton Park (district)
Sefton Park is a district and ward within the city of Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom. Sefton Park is a designated conservation area.
The district surrounds the park from which it takes its name, Sefton Park, which was laid out in the 1860s.
Greenbank House on Greenbank Lane dates from 1787, and was the home of the Rathbone family.
The original urbanisation of the area was mainly in the Victorian era, with large Victorian villas, particularly facing the park itself, and terraces and apartment blocks on nearby streets. In the 1820s, some wealthy members of the Chian diaspora settled here.
Lark Lane is lined with pubs, restaurants and specialist shops.
The University of Liverpool has several halls of residence in the Sefton Park district.
There was a railway station called Sefton Park, a short distance away and confusingly facing a different park (Wavertree), but it closed in 1960. The line is still in use, and the station buildings at street level survive in the form of commercial premises. Little evidence of the station is visible at track level, above the road. The nearest railway stations still operating are St Michaels railway station and Mossley Hill railway station.
