Best Shopping Locations in England

Window-shopping in the West-Midlands? You're bound to find plenty of bargains in the Bullring, in Birmingham City Centre. This innovative, cosmopolitan shopping centre has revolutionised the way Britain has thought about Birmingham, it no longer is just an old industrial city, but now has a bustling shopping centre that will definitely impress!

Firstly, the Bullring is a sight to behold. A gigantic structure of silver discs and glass, this shopping centre has a futuristic, modern-art look about it. It has certainly transformed the face of Birmingham City Centre, which previously was run-down and concrete-based, now Birmingham boasts the largest city shopping centre in all of Europe, which is no mean feat with the likes of stylish London, Paris and Milan to compete with.
Inside are a range of shops which will appeal to all tastes and pockets. In recent years, Birmingham has created a culture of young, trendy professionals which the Bullring has tried to cater for, with stylish stores such as Selfridges. However, there are also plenty of shops to appeal to young and old alike, and a wide selection of tasty cafes and restaurants when you need a break after long hours of shopping.
The Bullring, being in the centre of town, is also much more accessible than most out-of-town shopping malls. There is a large car park which tends to be a bit on the pricey side, but New Street station is a minute's walk from the shops, and Birmingham has an impressive bus route and good transport links which are much better value. If you need a good session of retail therapy and an enjoyable day out, Birmingham's Bullring is the place to be!
