Shopping in Birmingham

Birmingham is a shopper's paradise with glossy, modern shopping centres, restored Victorian arcades and a range of markets offering everything from designer labels to second-hand bargains. All the main high street stores are here along with smaller boutiques and special interest shops. The recently opened Bullring is Birmingham's newest shopping destination. Built at a cost of over £500 million, Bullring brings 26 football pitches worth of shops, boutiques and restaurants into the centre of town.

It is also home to the hugely succesful Selfridges, whose stunningly unique design is based on an Armani chain mail dress and has become an instant visual icon of Birmingham.
