Our locations

Our new 11-floor specialist cancer centre in the heart of Liverpool will open in June 2020 bringing Clatterbridge expertise closer to even more of our patients.

This state-of-the-art hospital will be Liverpool’s first cancer hospital and will be based on the same site as the new Royal Liverpool Hospital and the University of Liverpool.

The hospital is located at 65 Pembroke Place, Liverpool L7 8YA.

Free patient parking

When we revealed our plans in 2014 to build a new hospital in Liverpool we committed to ensuring that parking for patients would remain free and close to the main building as it is on our Wirral and Aintree sites.

Our on-site patient car park at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Liverpool will not be available until the new Royal Liverpool Hospital is complete, and the old Royal Hospital is taken down.

Therefore, we have a short-term temporary parking solution in place from June 2020 to make sure our patients have convenient access to free parking until a new multi-storey car park opens in 2021.

Free patient parking will be available at the Mason Street Car Park on the nearby Paddington Village development at the top of West Derby Street, with a free shuttlebus for those who require it. The car park is located on the former Magnet site, Mason Street, Liverpool L7 3EW.

Full details including access instructions to the car park for patients and shuttlebus operating details will be updated to this page when finalised.

From early 2021 patient parking will be available in a nearby multi-storey car park until we can complete our on-site car park when the land becomes available to start construction.

We are one of the largest cancer centres in the UK and recognise that we need to make access to our services and expert staff as easy as possible for our patients. As such, our consultants deliver clinics at various sites close to patients’ homes, in the surrounding general hospitals of Cheshire, Merseyside and the Isle of Man.

The specialist nursing teams from the Delamere Day Case Unit at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Wirral also deliver outpatient chemotherapy treatments to our patients at five other clinics within local hospitals across the region. To make your chemotherapy treatment more convenient for you, we will try where possible to offer your appointments closer to your home. You will still be treated by the same expert Clatterbridge staff at:

• The Linda McCartney Centre (The Royal Liverpool University Hospital)
• The Countess of Chester
• Southport Hospital
• Halton General Hospital
• The Marina Dalglish Centre (Aintree University Hospital)

We also offer a pioneering Treatment at Home service where our nurses will travel to your home to give you your chemotherapy treatment. Please ask your cancer doctor or nurse if this treatment option is available to you.
