Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Liverpool is justifiably famous for its great architecture and the Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts is a great example of the fantastic buildings found in Liverpool and if your a Beatles fan a must go photo destination.
Established as a boys school in 1825 ,the facade of the building is a Grade II Listed building ,it closed as a school in 1985 ,both Paul McCartney and George Harrison attended the school as pupils and John Lennon also had connections with the institute, its a haunt of Beatles fans and Beatle tours, I just love the look of the building, very classical and in such a fantastic area,the Georgian Quarter is my favourite district of Liverpool, great architecture, wonderful street art and fabulous pubs,bars and restaurants.
The Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts is easy to locate along Mount Street, most definitely well worth a visit if you're in the area.

My uncle, Dennis Booth, was a language teacher at the Institute and finished as Principal of the Institute. It was a boys only school. He taught Paul McCartney and George Harrison.

Constructed in 1825 originally as a boys school the Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts ( L.I.P.A ) is a wonderful and historic building in the heart of the Georgian Quarter.
This beautiful Grade II listed building closed as a school in 1985 but for fans of The Beatles its a must go destination, both George Harrison and Paul McCartney both attended here as pupils and John Lennon had connections to the school, I just love the architecture, its such a fantastic piece of architecture, stately but not overpowering and blends in with the great architecture to be found in this part of town,its most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Mount Street, its located near the great piece of street art known as " A Case History ".

John sporadically attended the Liverpool Institute and it is here that he met Cynthia Powell. George and Paul attended the College of Art. Beatles fans may wish to visit for a photo op but nothing more.
