Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
32 Gower StThe street and bus depot became a place of international interest as a result of the Beatles' song "Penny Lane",which was released in February 1967 and was a No. 1 hit around the world. The fireman and fire engine mentioned in the lyrics are the fire station at Mather Avenue, which is close to Penny Lane.[3] The terminus at Penny Lane included a purpose-built bus shelter, with a waiting room and toilets. The shelter is located on its own island, which is "the shelter in the middle of a roundabout" referred to in the song.
Towards the end of the 1970s, businesses in Penny Lane included Penny Lane Records and a wine bar known as Harper's Bizarre, now called Penny Lane Wine Bar. The latter was formerly a doctors' surgery operated by doctors Walton, Endbinder, and Partners, which moved to Smithdown Place in the 1980s. Following the privatisation of UK buses, the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive bus depot was demolished and replaced with a shopping precinct, supermarket, and pub.[citation needed] In the 1980s, the bus shelter was bought privately and converted to Sgt. Pepper's Bistro. It subsequently closed and remained out of commission until 2015, when it underwent refurbishment with the aim of reopening as a restaurant, although it remains unopened as of March 2023.
The street has long been sought out by Beatles fans touring Liverpool. In the past, Penny Lane street signs were constant targets of street sign theft and had to be continually replaced, but city officials gave up and simply began painting the street name on the sides of buildings and walls. This practice was stopped in 2007, four decades after the release of the song, and more theft-resistant street signs were installed; however, some are still stolen by tourists. The Penny Lane area has acquired a level of trendiness and desirability since the late 2000s, and is now one of the most sought-after areas among Liverpool's large student population for its wholefood outlets, charity shops, cafés, bars, bistros, takeaway food emporiums, pubs, and selection of traditional businesses such as WHSmith.
On 29 November 2023, a Penny Lane sign stolen by a group of drunk students in 1976 was returned to the city of Liverpool after 47 years, making it the oldest one to be returned. The sign is now on display in The Beatles Story museum on the Royal Albert Dock.

City advice
Getting around
Foot is best to get around the city
There is a one way system and a lot of roadworks, the majority of times it is quicker by foot
