On the east side of the hall, between it and the railway station is St George's Plateau and on the west side are St John's Gardens. The hall is included in the William Brown Street conservation area. In 1969 Pevsner expressed his opinion that it is one of the finest neo-Grecian buildings in the world although the building is notable for its use of Roman sources as well as Greek ones.

  • This is St Geroge's Hall, in Lime Street, opposite Lime Street Station. It's the finest neo-classical building in the world, wth an amzing tiled floor. The Town Hall is at the end of Castle Street, and is another superb piece of architecture.
