The Bullring

The Bullring is a spectacular building situated right in the heart of Birmingham city centre. Historically the location was a place were drunken men used to gather on a Sunday afternoon after a few tipples down the local. In this place they would gather in circles dressed in their woolly hats, long macks and overalls talking nothing but bulls**t for the rest of the day - hence the name 'Bullring'. You might still see some of their descendents if you hang about for long enough. The Bullring is very easy to get to. If you're travelling by train New Street and Moore Street train stations are just a short walk away. I wouldn't recommend a visit by car but if you ...  Read the complete review

I live in Birmingham so i visit the Bullring on a regular basis. It is a large shopping centre spread over three floors and is always garuenteed to be packed. The best thing about the Bullring is its late opening hours and wide selection of stores, so it allows you to shop around the city centre and still have enough time to come and check out the Bullring before the day is over.

When it comes to shopping, The Bullring is a great place to go to immerse yourself in numerous shops, cafes and a great atmosphere. I live about an hour from Birmingham so tend to get the train there to save on parking and you can just walk through the station and into shopping mall heaven. The Bullring has over 160 shops and 25 cafes which gives you a rough idea of how extensive it is. If that's not enough, being at the heart of Birmingham you only need step outside to check out other shops, attractions and things to do. The Bullring really dates way back to 1166 when the site it's built on was awarded the right to set up marketing. By the 1960s it earned ...  Read the complete review

The Bullring is the UK's largest city centre shopping centre and is located right in the heart of Birmingham. There are over 160 shops over three levels and it is rare that I can't find what I need in there. The best thing about the Bullring is that it is so conveniently located. If you take the train to Birmingham New Street you just take the escalator up to the Pallisades shopping centre and walk through to the Bullring because the two centres are linked by an indoor bridge. It is also easily accessible by foot from all around the city centre. When the Bullring first came I was not particularly impressed by the way it looked as it is this huge silvery blue ...  Read the complete review
