Albion House
Step inside one of Liverpool’s most striking historic landmarks. Albion House, also known as the White Star Building or 30 James Street, stands proudly at the corner of James Street and The Strand, facing the world-famous Pier Head. Built between 1896 and 1898, its bold red-brick and white Portland stone façade earned it the affectionate local nickname the “streaky bacon” building. Once the world headquarters of the White Star Line—the company behind RMS Titanic—Albion House is rich with stories of Liverpool’s maritime past. Today, it provides the perfect setting for a delicious English afternoon tea on the top floor, where you can enjoy fabulous waterfront views, chat with your guide, ask questions, and relax over a traditional cream tea.
