Your Essential Guide to Reaching Townhouse
So, you're looking for Townhouse? Whether you're a local or visiting from further afield, navigating to our unique establishment is straightforward. Situated at 9 Union Street, Tranmere, Birkenhead, CH42 3TL, Townhouse is an old pub, established in 2005, with a distinctive exterior that's purposely 'scruffy' and inconspicuous to deter unwanted attention. However, step inside, and you'll discover a truly lush experience. This guide will provide you with all the information you need, from the best transport options to nearby accommodation.
Finding Us: A Visual Guide
From the outside, Townhouse presents itself as a large cream building located on a corner of Union Street. A key landmark is an iron railway bridge nearby. To find our entrance, turn down the dead-end side street that heads towards the 'Bookers' Car Park. You'll soon spot large black gates to your right – that's us! If you're arriving by car, the adjacent Bookers car park is your go-to for parking.
Getting There by Taxi: Convenience at Your Fingertips
For those who prefer the ease of a taxi, we have a couple of excellent options. We have a member who drives a licensed black hackney cab, and his number is 07542899952 (Martin). He's available for local pick-ups and drop-offs. If you'd rather opt for a private hire service, our recommended company is Argyle Taxis, reachable on 0151 201 1111. Both options offer a reliable and comfortable way to reach Townhouse.
Public Transport: An Eco-Friendly Approach
Townhouse is well-served by public transport, making it accessible for everyone. There's a bus stop just 200 yards away on New Chester Road, with numerous routes stopping there, including buses 1, 2, 40, 40a, 41, 41a, 42, 807, 811, 817, and 854. If you prefer the train, Green Lane train station is a pleasant 5-7 minute walk away. You can easily locate the station by looking 'up' on a map from our vicinity.
For drivers, understanding the routes and parking is essential. Townhouse shares a car park with Bookers wholesale, which can accommodate approximately 50 vehicles. If you're attending an evening event, you're welcome to park here. However, for daytime events, we kindly request that you use the commercial parking areas across the road on the A41.
Driving Directions:
- From the M53 Motorway: Exit at junction 5 and follow signs for Birkenhead via the A41. Continue through the New Ferry Bypass towards New Chester Road. You'll pass a Carphone Warehouse on your left; turn left here onto Union Street, and then take the first left again to arrive at Townhouse.
- From Liverpool: Enter Birkenhead via the Queensway tunnel (the Birkenhead tunnel). Proceed straight ahead on the A41. After passing a Shell Service station on your left, you'll reach a set of traffic lights. Turn right at these lights, and then take the first left to reach your destination.
