The City of Birmingham
Birmingham is full of surprises. It's a vibrant, constantly changing city - yet a relaxing place to live, with plentiful green, open spaces and first rate sporting facilities. It is a city with excellent schools and housing and a dynamic cultural and artistic life. Ours is a city to feel at home in - yet one with a real cosmopolitan feel.
There are so many places to go, and so much to do in Birmingham, that you'll always be spoilt for choice. Spend an evening in a canal side café, pub or restaurant. Take a trip to the cinema, theatre or ballet. Or dance the night away at one of Birmingham's many clubs.
A Great City
Today, Birmingham can be proud of its progressive attitudes and great achievements. It's a renaissance city: home to the world-famous City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Afro-Caribbean dance company, Kokuma. We also have four first class theatres and a range of fascinating heritage buildings, museums and art galleries.
A Great City For Sport
Sports lovers can enjoy Premier League and Nationwide League soccer, test match cricket - and international tennis, golf and athletics.
A Great City In Which To Live And Work
Birmingham is also a place of green open spaces, with 13.5 square miles of parkland: including Sutton Park, the largest urban park in Europe - recently designated as a national nature reserve. At the same time, the city has a variety of good housing on offer - from stuccoed regency and elegant Victorian terraces, to brand new luxury homes. There is a wide range of schools with good academic standards - plus three universities. Also, some of the most beautiful countryside in England including the Cotswolds, the Malverns, the Severn Valley and Cannock Chase - are within easy reach.
Easy Access
Whether it's by road, rail or air, travelling to and from Birmingham is easy. The city is conveniently central to an extensive network of motorways and railways. Birmingham International Airport is ten minutes away by train, while London is only a 90 minute train journey or a two hour drive.
