Meander the canals at Brindleyplace, devour fiery curries in the Balti Triangle, or head to the revitalised industrious areas of Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter. Sitting at the heart of England, Birmingham is a city that continues to evolve with thriving culinary and music scenes.
The sports venues are spread throughout the region in places like Royal Leamington Spa, Royal Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, and Coventry as well as the redeveloped Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr, and the newly built Sandwell Aquatics Centre.
