“BRITAIN’S ‘SECOND CITY’ IS ABOUT TO TAKE TOP POSITION WHEN IT HOSTS THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES IN JULY.”
They don’t know what they’re on about – you’re bloody gorgeous,” the glamorous young woman bellows at her friend in a broad Brummie accent, as they clatter up the stairs ahead of me in a busy bar-bistro in Birmingham.
And to be honest, there’s no better way of describing the city in the heart of England. It has long hidden its charms, but Birmingham is an absolute revelation.
Buzzing with life, its city centre thrumming with locals enjoying the bars, restaurants, cafes and thriving arts scene, Birmingham is enjoying a gourmet groove and it’s a case of wham, B’ham, thank you from this ma’am.
