After London, Birmingham is England's second city. Less than 2 hours by train from London, it's set on the West Midlands plateau beyond Coventry and has a long and honorable industrial past. The Canal network of the UK served (and serves) Birmingham from all angles - so much so that it's sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North".

Farmer's Bridge and the National Indoor Arena

The National Exhibition Centre (an out of town complex near the airport NEC), the National Indoor Arena (pictured above) and many other venues and attractions make Birmingham a city that's worth stopping and seeing ... or visiting for some of the special events that go on there.

Much of the housing in the outskirts of Birmingham (and in surrounding towns such as Tamworth is in high rise blocks, sometime set surprisingly amongst green fields!
