Birmingham

Our second largest city, ‘Brum’ was home to the pioneers of the industrial revolution and their legacy can still be seen today: from the extensive network of canals to the newly converted and renovated factories and warehouses. With a vibrant restaurant and night life and first class shopping, it makes for a cosmopolitan city break. 

Go on, break out of the hen house and Flock Somewhere New with some of our top picks of the season.

Or, enjoy great value travel with an Advance Fare when you book early.

Our Advance Fares start from just £6.40 one-way* for journeys between London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street. Information for the reverse journey can be found on our Birmingham to London Marylebone page.
