About time in Liverpool
Liverpool is a port city on the River Mersey, famous for the Beatles, its football clubs and its docks, which once connected Britain to North America. That link is still visible in time: callers between Liverpool and the US east coast share a working window in the UK afternoon. The city is nearly three degrees west of Greenwich, so the sun appears a little later than in London.
- Liverpool's docks were a main gateway to North America for centuries.
- The Mersey ferry and Albert Dock are the best-known waterfront sights.
- Solar noon is about 12 minutes after clock noon, GMT in winter.
About 486,000 people live in Liverpool. At 53.41 degrees north and 2.99 degrees west of Greenwich, true solar noon here falls about 12 minutes after clock noon. The clock itself always matches the rest of the UK.
