Living in Birmingham
Birmingham is Britain's second city, undergoing a transformation. The Commonwealth Games left a legacy of regeneration; HS2 promises to put London under an hour away. Beyond the city centre's towers, Victorian suburbs offer village-like living at prices that make London refugees weep. The key neighbourhoods—Moseley, Harborne, Kings Heath—each have their own distinct character.
