Birmingham is home to the historic Bull Ring - site of a market for more than 800 years.
'Bullring' offers leading international retailers, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities, alongside the redeveloped outdoor and indoor markets also da Selfridges building where cars login & logout:)















Lord Balaji Temple, in Tividale, near Birmingham Europe's largest Hindu temple. The temple has been constructed in the style of the ancient and sacred temple of Sri Venkateswara in Tirupati, India. The site has been funded by a £3.3m lottery grant from the Millennium Commission and has taken more than three decades to come to fruition. The concrete, granite and class structure was built in stages in the subcontinent before being shipped to Britain to be put together on site. A team of 30 highly-skilled crafsmen and stone masons were brought over from India to work on the intricate carvings of Hindu gods and godesses that adorn mahogany doors, stone pillars and the walls and ceilings inside the temple.
