Shopping

Grand central is great place to people watch over a coffee and lots of great restaurants with multi-cultural food choices. I love exploring the pop up shops which are located as you walk between Grand Central to the Bullring.

If you like shopping but are looking for something different from an independent retailer then you must visit the Great Western Arcade! Not only is it beautiful it is filled with great local independent shops and restaurants and is right in the middle of Birmingham city centre, opposite Snow Hill train station.

Parks & Nature

Where JRR Tolkien got his inspiration for the Hobbit. This short but very pretty walk is beautiful and perfect for kids, dogs and adults on rainy days as it has think tree cover that acts as a barrier. Free parking.
