Birmingham is a major city in England’s West Midlands region, with multiple Industrial Revolution-era landmarks that speak to its 18th-century history as a manufacturing powerhouse. It’s also home to a network of canals, many of which radiate from Sherborne Wharf and are now lined with trendy cafes and bars. In the city centre, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is known for pre-Raphaelite masterpieces.

Birmingham is often referred to as the youngest city in Europe, with over 40 per cent of our population being under 25, but there’s a lot more that puts Birmingham on the map, making us famous nationwide and even globally. 

Birmingham is also one of the top three shopping destinations in the UK. With our high street, the Mailbox, Bullring, Grand Central, the world’s largest Primark, independents, vintage shops and so much more, there really is something for everyone!

Birmingham’s Bullring is also one of the largest shopping centres in Europe, and has been ‘the place to shop’ since the Middle Ages.
