Bullring Article

This is a short article I wrote for Hello Birmingham for their shopping section about the Bullring.




Around the Bullring


The Bullring in the heart of the West Midlands in Birmingham has been an important feature for the city since the Middle Ages, where it first held its Markets. Since the 1960's it has been a busy shopping centre, having a new renovation in 2003, to what it looks like today. It houses a number of incredible shops inside, including two major department stores; Selfridge's and Debenhams, and also the first ever Forever 21 to open in Europe.

Even as recent as last Autumn, the shopping centre housed some re-developments to the outer part of the centre. The new 'Spiceal Street' bringing a group of seven restaurants together, including the existing Nandos, Pizza Hut, Jamie's Italian and Wagamamas. The new development would home new restaurants Browns Bar, Chaobaby and Handmade Burger Company.

The centre attracts thousands of visitors every week, and it is never an empty place. It even attracts visitors from all over the globe to see the amazing structure and fantastic array of shops and restaurants.
