History
Liverpool’s rise as a filming location is rooted in its nineteenth and early twentieth century expansion as one of the world’s most important ports. Vast docklands, warehouses, and civic buildings were constructed during a period of intense industrial growth, many of which remain remarkably intact today.
These preserved environments made Liverpool an ideal stand in for historical cities, including Birmingham in Peaky Blinders. The show’s creators sought locations that reflected the grit, ambition, and class divides of post World War One Britain, qualities deeply embedded in Liverpool’s own past.
By combining authentic locations with modern storytelling, the Peaky Blinders tour connects visitors to both the city’s real industrial history and its reinvention as a global cultural and filming hub, showcasing how Liverpool’s streets continue to tell powerful stories.
