Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough of the West Midlands and is the second city of the United Kingdom. Nicknames include “the workshop of the world” and the “city of a thousand trades”, names gained from Birmingham’s dominance in the industrial revolution in England.
It has since developed into a national commercial centre, and is the fourth most visited city in the UK by tourists.
Birmingham is one of the most versatile cities, and plays host to an unbeatable list of attractions - Drayton Manor Theme Park, Cadbury World and Thinktank to name just a few. And the shopping is certainly worth coming for, with an array of super-chic stores like Harvey Nic’s and Selfridges, and the world famous jewellery quarter, there’s something for everyone in Birmingham!
