While London is often considered the cultural centre of the UK, about 20 hours North West, lies the bustling city of Birmingham. With a population of approximately 1.1 million inhabitants within the city area and 3.8 million within Greater Birmingham, Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK. These figures also make Birmingham the 17th largest city and the 8th largest metropolitan area in the European Union. Although it is often a toss up between Manchester and Birmingham regarding which is the UK’s second city, Birmingham certainly wins in population size. In terms of culture, music and theatre, Birmingham is a thriving city with much to offer.
