Have to experience Selfridge in the Bull Ring one of a kind shop. Nice city centre so make sure you step foot outside the Bull Ring.

For some good Pakistani food make a trip to "Lahore Kabab House" on Ladypool road.

Re: Central rail station in Birmingham?

I want to see the center, selly oak and edgbaston.

Re: Central rail station in Birmingham?

no that's in sparbrook/sparkhill.

Selly Oak is a dump - why you wanna go their?

Re: Central rail station in Birmingham?

Heard its a student area with cheap housing. May be looking to move to Bham to take advantage of cheapness.

Re: Central rail station in Birmingham?

I see. Well yes it's a student place pretty much exclusively = noisy, plenty of burglaries and muggings.

I spent a year their and hated the place. Probably better off moving to somewhere like Five Ways which has a train station on the same University line.
