Lark Lane (between Aigburth Road and Sefton Park) is a lively place with many independent shops, restaurants and bars.

The spelling Aigburgh (or, more rarely, Aighburgh) is sometimes found in old publications and historical documents (for example, S. Lewis, A Topographical Dictionary of England (1848)),[3] as well as in modern references to former residents[4] [5] and is occasionally seen as an alternative (if incorrect) spelling today.

It is now part of the Liverpool Riverside constituency and returned Louise Ellman as MP in the 2005 and 2010 general elections.

[6] The area is covered by the Liverpool City Council wards of Aigburth and Mossley Hill.

[7] The Aigburth Park halls of residence of Liverpool Hope University are located close to the railway line on St Michael's Road.

St Michaels railway station is also situated in the area, at the bottom of Southwood Road.
