Unlike the person from Southport(Sleepville itself) I found the Albert Dock a very nice and layed back shopping expierence, some very different shops and a few nice cafes and bars(often used by the celebrity elements). If you are looking for a alternative shopping experience then check the Albert Dock out but some shops are pricey!!!

I think the Albert docks are a fantastic experience, so much to see, and Liverppol itself has so much to offer tourists now, soon to be the capital of culture.
