Birmingham, England

Birmingham Jet Charter Information

Located in the West Midlands, Birmingham is the most populated British city outside London. It also ranks second behind the capitcal in driving the United Kingdom's overall economy. The city is home to major manufacturing industries, although tourism-centered businesses, specifically the service industry, are the biggest drivers of Birmingham's prosperity. Since the 17th century and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, Birmingham has often battled with London for economic superiority. Though very little of the city's early buildings stand today, much has been preserved from the 17th century onward. It's not unusual to see the tall gambrel roofs of a red brick Victorian building across the street from a steel-frame modernist building. Birmingham is also culturally significant from a musical standpoint. It produced legendary groups such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin) and Duran Duran.

• Adams
• Purnell’s
• Simpsons

Birmingham is also renowned for having invented the balti curry. There are plenty of curry houses where you can sample the delightfully spiced dish. Like any good party town, Birmingham is always looking for a reason to let loose, whether it be the formal religious ceremonies connected with St. George's Day, or the more relaxed atmosphere of the Caribbean-styled Carnival, which happens on odd numbered years. While Birmingham is totally landlocked, the city has an impressive number canals (more than Venice, in fact).
