Bullring & Grand Central
The Bullring and Grand Central is just a 5-minute walk from true Birmingham which means you have every shop you could possibly need practically on your doorstep, along with many of the best restaurants in town! Also, having the main train station so close makes it easy to travel home or visit friends!
Mailbox
The Mailbox is for those students that fancy a bit of luxury! There are a range of upmarket and designer shops including one of seven Harvey Nichols department stores in the UK. We think the best time to visit the Mailbox is during the evening, the whole area outside by the canal is lit up and there are plenty of restaurants and bars to eat and drink your way through!
Chinatown
Birmingham's vibrant Chinatown is located just opposite true. This makes shopping at Chinese supermarkets, restaurants and getting your bubble tea fix easy! Each year during the celebration of Chinese New Year the whole area becomes alive with lion, dragon, classical fan and umbrella dances and Firecrackers.
