The passengers accommodations was spread among the top seven decks, A to G, and was strictly segregated according to class with the most affluent housed on the upper levels. A descent into the bowels of the liner equated with a descent on the social ladder. The different classes ate in separate dining-rooms, read and talked in separate lounges, smoked in separate smoking-rooms, took sea air on separate promenades, had their hair cut in separate barbers' shops and used different gangways to find their way around the ship. The long, wide passage that ran along side the port side of E deck and was a popular route with the crew and steerage passengers, was nicknamed 'Scotland Road' after the bustling, working-class thoroughfare in Liverpool, the Titanic's port of registration. Meanwhile, a narrower passage on the starboard side of E deck, which was for first-class use, was known as 'Park Lane' after the fashionable street in London's Mayfair. Virtually all the liner's most impressive facilities were solely for the use of first-class passengers.
