Location.

Home to a multicultural and large international community, Birmingham is a major student city with around 80,000 students.

For a night of entertainment, hit the Custard Factory, which is complete with restaurants, bars, independent shops and even crazy golf.

Take part in some retail therapy at the iconic Bullring Shopping Centre, one of the UK’s top shopping and leisure destinations with over 200 high street shops, including the world’s biggest Primark! Birmingham also has a thriving art scene as well as a rich sporting heritage and lively nightlife.

If you prefer something more relaxing, kick back and take in the stunning tree-lined squares by dining out at one of Brindley place’s top international eateries.

Belgrave View is conveniently located in between Aston University, the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City University.

The city centre is just a 15-minute walk away, packed with shops, restaurants and local attractions, including Broad Street, where you’ll discover the city’s top bars and restaurants.

After a short 12-minute walk, you’ll arrive in Chinatown, which is brimming with bustling Chinese supermarkets and restaurants. You’ll also find the Gay Village, that’s full of vibrant restaurants, bars and nightclubs and where all gay pride events take place.

If you’d prefer to stay local, the Village is close to lots of local amenities, including shops, bars and restaurants. There are also some scenic canal walks and bike paths in the area too for you to explore in your spare time.

I have been living at Belgrave View for over a year, and I have made many friends here from all over the country as well as international friends!
