See some of Southside
Once an unremarkable district of Birmingham's centre, Southside has emerged to become a distinctive part of the city's fabric over the past decade. This shift has been driven by a unique and eclectic mix of developments, including the clubs, restaurants and bars that make up Southside's Chinese Quarter and Gay Village, and the rejuvenated Birmingham Hippodrome. Today, Southside is a vibrant and immersive area, where you'll never run out of things to see and experience.
Birmingham - the Midlands' Metropolis
