A walk into the centre of Birmingham

most central station
From the station it is a very short distance to the central shopping areas. There are two major malls and quite a few really big shopping streets which are pedestrian precincts. The city centre is pretty modern as well, especially architecture-wise.
Monument and Bullring
Mini-waterfalls with Bullring in background
The stunning thing is that there are old and modern buildings right next to each other: History and tradition meet progress and innovation!
Bullring next to St. Martin
St. Martin is a church in the style of gothic Victorian architecture, designed by Alfred Chatwin and built in 1873.
