Burlington Arcade

Burlington Arcade is undoubtedly an independent retailer’s dream location. As soon as you enter, it feels like a step back in time, offering a shopping experience far removed from the busy high streets of Birmingham.

The spectacular arcade was built sometime before 1875 and was originally a hotel. It features incredible arches, beautiful tilework, and a sizable glass ceiling. You can shop for shoes, fashion, and even treat yourself to a new hairdo.

And it would be rude to visit this iconic location without going down to the basement of the Arcade to Bacchus Bar. Dating back to 1398, this hidden gem offers some of the best food and drinks in the city, whilst also giving you a chance to appreciate its centuries-old interiors.
