Mini Guide to Birmingham Airport

Most people who lived in the Midlands during the 1980s will recall the catchy, but corny, adverts for the “Bull Ring Shopping Centre”. The adverts were a last desperate bid to lure customers into the decaying heart of Birmingham’s city centre. How times have changed. The Bull Ring has been completely rebuilt, nestling alongside the stunning new Selfridges department store. All around, ambitious new building projects are underway, including a complete overhaul of the much-maligned New Street Station. To cap it all, there has even been talk of Birmingham getting a much needed underground system. The butt of jokes for too long, Britain’s second city is really getting its act together. Birmingham is very much a work in progress, as the whole city centre is transformed from a 1960s concrete nightmare into an ultra-modern metropolis. Even the landmark Rotunda tower is getting the Urban Splash treatment. The city centre is largely given over to the fine British pastime of shopping. Selfridges and the Bull Ring are heaving all the time, whereas the equally impressive Mailbox development, situated on the opposite side of New Street Station, is quieter and more upmarket. Nightlife is centred on Broad Street and its environs, the busiest entertainment district in Europe. The Arcadian Centre, south of New Street, is also very popular. A visit to Birmingham would not be complete without having a balti, the Pakistani inspired curry dish. The famed Balti Triangle is in Sparkbrook, a couple of miles south of the city centre (take a bus or taxi, the route from the city centre is not the safest or most scenic of walks). Those with a sweeter tooth should visit Cadbury World, situated in the model-village of Bourneville, five miles southwest of the city centre.
