Discover Birmingham
Birmingham is England's second city and the economic centre of the West Midlands. It built its reputation on manufacturing and trade, and today the economy spans finance, professional services, education, retail and a large construction pipeline. The city centre is undergoing major change, from towers around the Bullring and Paradise Circus to the HS2 works at Curzon Street. Areas such as the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, Edgbaston and Brindleyplace give it variety, with canals threading through the centre. People need to be in Birmingham for HS2 and city centre developments, hospital and university activity, exhibitions and business. Surrounding areas include the city centre, the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, Edgbaston and Brindleyplace. For getting around, Birmingham New Street and Curzon Street sit at the centre of the rail network, with the M6 and M42 close by.
