Liverpool & Wirral: Peaky Blinders Coach Tour TV Locations

Summary

Peaky Blinders filming locations Liverpool coach trip with stories

You’ll step into Peaky Blinders territory across Liverpool and the Wirral, visiting over ten filming locations with a local guide who knows both show secrets and city history. Expect laughs, offbeat facts, and those odd moments when fiction meets real life — all from your seat on a comfy coach with live commentary along the way.

What’s the experience like?

“That’s where Tommy first lights his cigarette — right there,” our guide said, pointing out the window as we rumbled through Liverpool’s backstreets. I’d watched that scene a dozen times but never pictured it next to a chip shop with the smell of vinegar drifting in. The coach was warm, and the city outside looked just as moody as on screen — grey clouds, old bricks, a bit of drizzle on the glass. We all craned our necks for a better look, even though it was just an ordinary corner to everyone else passing by.

I didn’t realize how much of Peaky Blinders was filmed around here until we actually started moving — the Wirral, bits of the docks, and these tucked-away alleys you’d never find on your own. Our guide (he had this dry Scouse humor) kept tossing in bits about the real-life gang too, not just show trivia. At one point he told us Polly’s house was actually someone’s real home — “Imagine opening your curtains to a film crew and Cillian Murphy standing in your garden,” he joked. I still think about that view from across the Mersey; it’s got this strange mix of TV fantasy and gritty old Liverpool.

The coach tour lasted about four hours but didn’t feel long — maybe because every stop came with another story or some behind-the-scenes detail you wouldn’t get from just walking around. There was one moment by what used to be the Garrison pub set when everything went quiet except for seagulls overhead and someone’s phone buzzing. Kind of weird how places you’ve only seen on TV suddenly feel so familiar in person. And yeah, I probably took too many photos through rain-speckled windows but who cares.
