Liverpool (Merseyside) Pop: 450,000 (city) 800,000 (metro)

Liverpool is another large metropolitan community located in northwest England on the Mersey Estuary.

The city is an important port and railway transportation hub. Liverpudlians, as residents may be called, experienced a musical renaissance in the 1960's with the international recognition of The Beatles and their associated Mersey Sound (Liverpool Sound).

Eventually, this led to a leap in tourism to this Mecca of pop music that endures to date.
