Liverpool is a city and port in Merseyside, England, which contains many listed buildings. A listed building is a structure designated by English Heritage of being of architectural and/or of historical importance and, as such, is included in the National Heritage List for England. There are three grades of listing, according to the degree of importance of the structure. Grade I includes those buildings that are of "exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important"; the buildings in Grade II* are "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and those in Grade II are "nationally important and of special interest". Very few buildings are included in Grade I — only 2.5% of the total. Grade II* buildings represent 5.5% of the total, while the great majority, 92%, are included in Grade II.
Liverpool contains more than 1,550 listed buildings, of which 28 are in Grade I, 109 in Grade II*, and the rest in Grade II. This list contains the Grade II listed buildings in the L8 postal district of Liverpool. The district is almost completely residential, and results from the expansion of the city in the early 19th century. These houses are in Georgian style, and some of the district forms part of what has been called the Georgian quarter of the city. A high proportion of the buildings in the list are houses from this period, usually in groups or terraces. Also included in the district is Princes Park, and its three entrances are listed. The list also includes three churches, public buildings, two monuments, a public house and brewery, a men's residential home, and a variety of structures such as drinking fountains and lamp standards.
