WESTSIDE & BRINDLEYPLACE There’s a real pulse to this part of Birmingham – a place where business meets pleasure. Once a landscape of warehouses and workshops, Westside has reinvented itself with waterside bars, restaurants, clubs and theatres that buzz from morning until late. The Metro trams now glide along Broad Street, linking the district’s hotels, nightlife and cultural landmarks to much of the city with ease. Around every corner, there’s a reminder of how Birmingham continues to evolve without losing sight of its roots. Walk along the canal to Gas Street Basin – once neglected until it was revitalised in the 1990s – and you’ll see old canal cottages sitting side by side with stylish apartments and modern towers, and narrowboats slipping beneath iron bridges that hint at the city’s industrial past. Look out for The Black Sabbath Bridge, which celebrates our most famous metal band, and has become a magnet for visitors from around the world and one of Birmingham’s most photographed spots.
