Thanks for sharing. I'm from the U.K but haven't been to Birmingham for more than 30 years. It's been spruced up I think. Looks very prosperous, pristine, elegant buildings etc and no litter or closed up shops in the centre. Good to see. Good filming by the way.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for taking the time to watch my video! I'm glad you enjoyed the walking tour of Birmingham. It's fascinating to hear that you're from the U.K but haven't been to Birmingham in over 30 years. You're right; the city has undergone significant improvements and developments over the years, resulting in a more prosperous and elegant appearance. I was impressed by the pristine buildings and the absence of litter and closed shops in the city center too. If you ever get the chance to visit Birmingham again, I'm sure you'd be pleasantly surprised by the changes. It was a pleasure filming the tour, and I'm thrilled that you liked it. If you have any suggestions for future videos or any other places you'd like to see, please let me know! Thanks again for your support and encouraging words.
Really nice video, Birmingham has changed so much in recent years. What a shame you didn't go a little further to the canals on the Gas Street Basin and head to Brindleyplace though...

Birmingham is run down ugly the city centre never ever finishes go on the outer parts of Birmingham it's a scrap yard boring and people are very backwards areas are backwards and people are bigoted and racist as fuck hostile in Birmingham and west midlands lots of segregation.
@fragilerovers Birmingham is a dump full of rejects and crime problematic city people are miserable and lots of mental health and anxiety issues people suffer from ,Birmingham city council are shambles only invest in buildings and dont invest in people.

Have lived 15 years in Birmingham next year 16 years trust me brum has changed completely, was ghetto but now woooow is paradise…. I love Birmingham soooo much……..
You're totally right. It was my first visit since 2019, and it looked even more beautiful and peaceful than before. I really love Birmingham. Thanks for checking out my video, and I hope you consider subscribing to my channel
I don't know why people hate or fear birmingham so much it's a lovely city, lots of new development since HS2 started atleast 20-30 high-rise buildings under construction. Outside city centre of course bit dirty and bad place but that's anywhere you go same
If you've ever lived in Birmingham, there's always something you'll miss about the city. I hope my video brought back some good memories. Thank you for watching and I hope that you subscribe to my channel
Also pretty surprised to see this is your most viewed video, but I have a feeling it’s because people are watching to see if Birmingham is as bad as people make it out to be.
41:29 what is all the work being done on the right hand side ? I remember HMV being there many years ago and spending a small fortune on vinyl every week.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for your question! At 41:29 in the video, there appears to be ongoing work on the right-hand side, which suggests a potential redevelopment project in Birmingham's city center. However, since I am not a local resident of Birmingham, I cannot provide precise details about the specific redevelopment plans in that area. It's intriguing to learn about your memories of spending time in Birmingham, particularly at the location where HMV used to be, and your fondness for buying vinyls. Birmingham, like many other major cities in the UK, undergoes continuous transformation, and it is truly captivating to witness how it evolves over time. I deeply appreciate your engagement and support for my channel! If there are any other aspects of Birmingham or any other locations you would like me to cover in future videos, please don't hesitate to let me know. Your feedback is invaluable to me. Once again, thank you for your interest in the video, and I hope you consider subscribing to stay updated with future content.
At a guess I'd say cleaning and restoration. I don't live in Brum anymore but when I see these videos it looks like a lot of the building down New Street have had that done.
I try to be very descriptive when I answer questions. Sometimes I get asked questions that I don’t know so I have to consult the internet. I can’t know about everywhere that I have visited. But all the same, thank you for engaging
@@etbadaboum Thats alright. You could as well check 48:24. I guess that should put an end to whatever may seem to be inconsistency in the video lol. Thanks and I hope to see you around . Kindly subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already.
This video is few weeks old. I live in the city centre. Some barriers on the streets were not there few months ago or beyond. The sign you're talking about could be from a failed business or something. Many went out like Vanilla Ice after the pandemic.
@@hareshgill8994 I'm old enough to remember when you could drive around all of the streets in the city centre, and had actual architecture that was pleasing to the eye. But then I was born in the boring old 20th century.
@@hareshgill8994Yes, once upon a time there were dozens of bus routes that went all the way into the middle, up and down New Street and up Corporation Street. And cars were allowed everywhere, even small roads like Needless Alley. There was a sort of one way system, but you could even park right outside some of the shops on New Street and Corporation Street. And you really should look up the old Exchange building and the old New Street Station that was in Stephenson Place as an example of the beautiful architecture we used to have before they ruined it with the brutalist concrete boxes we now have.
@@fragilerovers Larger Urban Zone. See here for the UK city ranking per population: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_primary_urban_areas_in_England_by_population
Sorry to inform you according to Government records the City of Manchester ( Not Greater Manchester which is not a City by the way ) is not even the 3rd largest City but comes in at number 6 with it's population of only 580,000 citizens. The reason the City of Birmingham is the Second Largest City in the UK is because it has a population of 1.5 million citizens and in the UK it is the amount of people living in a City that determines it's pole position.

More spacious than london

The Birmingham City Library is beautiful. This video didn't do justice to how amazing the structure is. And the interior is even better.
4 months back we were at Birmingham. Was in the city for three months and was staying at Marshall Grove, Off Kingstanding Road, Great Barr
