    IT is vast. IT is green, called the emerald city given the amount of trees and parks, IT is young, IT is multicultural, IT is in the midst of a vast multimillion urban expansion of its central core. IT is inland but graced with endless miles of canals. Thanks. Welcome to Birmingham.

      @jones roberts well, if you want to compare London (to other cities), compare it to cities like Paris, or Berlin; it is more suitable to compare Birmingham to cities like Hamburg, or Manchester.

      @jones roberts I am afraid Modern Life EH is totally correct in his description of Birmingham, the only thing he missed out was that Birmingham has a population of 1.5 million Citizens making it the Second Largest City in the UK outside of London.

      @Oluchi Ella oh yeah. I am currently in birmingham. I don't know about Manchester tho kuz I v not been there yet. Taking my time. Brum is a great city with very friendly people who smile at you at the slightest opportunity. It gives the big city vibes without the hustle and bustle of a big city. There r lots of shops, restaurants, fun spots, that I am still exploring till today. Found it hard to get an apartment, maybe because i was looking for apartments not too far from the city centre, but I am settled in now. There is a Nigerian store in town I buy my Nigerian groceries, while getting used to British foods. Christmas Market is open currently, with loads of ambiance. All in all, brum is a lovely place to be.

      They are recorded to be real.👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
      “The Peaky Blinders were a street gang based in Birmingham, England, which operated from the 1880s until the 1910s. The group consisted largely of young criminals from lower- to middle-class backgrounds. They engaged in robbery, violence, racketeering, illegal bookmaking, and control of gambling. Members wore signature outfits that typically included tailored jackets, lapelled overcoats, buttoned waistcoats, silk scarves, bell-bottom trousers, leather boots, and peaked flat caps.”

      @@TosinAbayomiYT Sorry mate, there was not a gang called the Peaky Blinders in Birmingham it is just a name for a programme, and the peaky Blinders refers to a fashion of the time where young ruffians pick pocket gangs wore a peaked cap tilted to one side with a quiff of hair covering one Eye hence the name Peaky Blinder, even a top Birmingham Historian Carl Chinn admitted that they did not exist as a gang but as a fashion and razor blades were not used as they had just been invented and were too expensive so these gangs went round with pen/flick knifes, knuckle duster, coshes and some time pistols being both English and Irish Gangs, there was never a family called the " Shelbies" and gangs did not ride around Birmingham on Horses with sub machine Guns over their shoulders.
      Sorry my friend it appears you do not live in Birmingham and explain what the gangs supposedly wore from watching Peaky Blinders, I can assure you they wore no such thing they were just ruffians and the best example of seeing what they look like is to watch the film "Oliver", I have lived in Birmingham for 67 years now and have about 50 books on the History of Birmingham and loads of DVD's and Video's on the History of Birmingham and do you know what, no such mention of Peaky Blinders is referenced to in any history of Birmingham. So yes there were ruffian Gangs in Birmingham, the term peaky blinder was just a fashion these gangs followed and all had separate gang names and the programme was called Peaky Blinders, just like TV Programme is called East Enders but look nothing like the East end of London,plus the programme Peaky Blinders was never filmed in Birmingham being filmed in Liverpool, Manchester and The Black Country Living Museum in Dudley 15 miles from Birmingham
