Birmingham is a major city in the West Midlands region of England, with numerous landmarks of the Industrial Revolution period that refer to its past as a growing powerhouse in the 18th century. The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery are known for its pre-Raphaelite mast in the city Centre.
Birmingham is regarded as the 'first manufacturing city in the world' and was proclaimed in 1889 as the 'Capital of a Thousand Trades.' Although most visitors are headed straight for London, little do they know that Birmingham, the sleeping giant of the UK, is just 90 minutes away by train. This is not just some old town; it is the second largest city in the United Kingdom and is worth a visit
For those relocating from London, Birmingham is at the top of the list. It is one of the youngest cities in Europe and it is also one of the most innovative, so it's no wonder that creatives migrate to one of the country's most developed cities.

New buildings are coming up all the time, and you're likely to end up seeing something different on your next visit when you visit them once. The HSBC bank has also planned to relocate from London to Birmingham, with brand new headquarters being constructed in the town center on Broad Street.
Once more popular than its Michelin stars for its Dunlop tyres, UK's second city has recently been turned into a proper food haven on an equal footing with many capitals across the globe. From secret speakeasies to creative meaderies and award-winning gin spots.

There are a few nudist beaches in the UK but Morfa Dyffryn Naturist Beach, in Gwynedd, North Wales, is closest to Birmingham. This is a several miles long sandy beach, and an officially recognized naturist location. Weston-super-Mare is the nearest beach to Birmingham, followed by Blackpool and Rhyl, by our reckoning and dependent on travel time.
