Bullring and Grand Central
The Selfridges building and the shops around it, with the Bull outside and New Street station beneath.
Love it or not, the silver-disc Selfridges is Birmingham's most recognisable building, and the Bullring and Grand Central above the station are the biggest shopping centres in the region. Under cover, open late and full of places to eat. On a wet day it is where the city goes.
