WELCOME
TO BIRMINGHAM.

"Youngest city in Europe."

Birmingham is Europe’s youngest city, with more than 40% of its population under the age of 25. The result? A surplus of student hotspots for you to discover.

Built on the old BBC Studios, Pebble Mill sits behind the University of Birmingham and is a short walk and bus journey to all other major universities in the city.

Less than 10 minutes from Pebble Mill is Digbeth, packed with street food vendors, art galleries, and music venues. It’s easy to see why it was recently crowned the “coolest neighbourhood in Britain”.

Live close to Birmingham’s top student spots while overlooking peaceful green spaces and parks, the perfect balance to the city’s lively atmosphere.
