Shopping centres in Birmingham

Bullring
Birmingham’s Bullring - it’s a day in itself. Brim full with 160 shops - two of which are floor-after-floor of Selfridges and Debenhams. (That curvaceous Selfridges exterior is worth the trip in itself.) Lose yourself in a world of the Apple store, Mamas & Papas and Karen Millen to name but a few. Then refresh shopped-out limbs in any of 25 restaurants. All before going again. How shoptastic is that?.


The Mailbox
The Mailbox is pure indulgence. Where famed fashion and lifestyle design clash head on with contemporary art and fine furnishings. Take in Harvey Nichols, Hugo Boss and Emporio Armani. Maybe Jaeger, Bang & Olufsen or Nicky Clarke Salons are high on your list. Then, for lucky ladies who lunch, indulge that other favoured pastime. Canalside restaurants or café bars await.


Markets and stalls
It’s not all Malls. Far from it. Giants of the high street nestle alongside smaller boutique and independent stores.. See how £30 million made House of Fraser’s many floors somewhere everyone feels at home. Enjoy our huge Marks and Spencer. Or the famous names and independent gems found the length and breadth of New Street and Corporation Street. But the biggest treat of all waits ‘til winter. Our authentic Frankfurt Christmas Market returns - the world’s largest (outside Germany or Austria)


Pallasades
Situated above New Street Station, The Pallasades is the place in the city if you are on the look-out for great buys and value for money. With an eclectic mix of accessories, gifts, fashion, electrical, sports and beauty stores, you can dress yourself from top to toe, check out the latest computer games and pick up the latest mobile phones. Top names include Argos, HMV, Peacocks, Poundland, The Carphone Warehouse and 99p store.


Pavilions
Right next door to Birmingham’s Bullring, Pavilions. At the heart of the shopping action, it’s jam-packed with top names. Marks & Spencer, Waterstones and La Senza are just the starter. Of course, break time offers nearly as much choice. Dine and peer down on fellow shoppers from the spacious Food Loft.



The Great Western Arcade
Amidst vibrant Birmingham’s modern hustle and bustle, one retail environment stands apart. With quiet sophistication. And genteel elegance. The Great Western Arcade whisks you back to the city’s proud Victorian heritage. Within this majestic 1876 parade, independent boutique-style retailers, genuine specialists and a sprinkling of high street names give discerning shoppers the feel that beautiful discoveries wait behind every door.

Martineau Place
The perfect hideaway to step away from the crowd. Just off the busy zones around Corporation Street, it offers great shopping without great fuss. Ideal for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch. Then it’s off to the largest GAP in the city. Or any of the other great fashion, travel or sports stores all around.

City Plaza
Still in the bustling city centre but retaining an air of calm and tranquillity, City Plaza offers a choice of stylish designer ware and specialist boutiques. For a leisurely look at some of the finest labels around, you’ve found a true home from home.
