This car park is famous—sort of. It’s been used as a filming location for the TV show ‘Peaky Blinders’. Yep, Tommy Shelby himself might have scowled on that very ramp. So next time you’re grinding your bumper on the exit, imagine you’re in 1920s Birmingham, wearing a flat cap, brooding about family loyalty. It improves the mood, honestly.
Also, the view from the top level is absolutely stunning. On a clear day, you can see the Liver Birds, the Mersey, and the distant Welsh hills. It’s the best £3 view in Liverpool. Just don’t tell anyone, or it’ll get crowded.
Final Verdict: Love It or Leave It?
Look, Mount Pleasant Car Park 38 is not a destination. You won’t take a date there. (“Fancy a romantic evening in Level 2, near the leaking pipe?”). But it is a necessary evil, a rite of passage for any Liverpool visitor or resident. It’s where you park before you hit the Everyman Theatre, load up on tapas, or stumble out of the Kazimier Garden at 2 a.m.
Treat it with respect. Pay the correct amount. Learn the ramp. And if you see a man hugging a Peugeot, just give him a sympathetic nod. He’s found his car. He’s won the game. And for that brief, beautiful moment, so do you.
