BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM

Welcome to Birmingham, the UK's second city. It's a city of mixed cultures, creeds and lifestyles and has recently become the fashionable place to set up a business or to hold a conference. But it still retains great pride in being a city built on industry. Listed below are the most important and well-known areas of Birmingham, encompassing business, baltis and entertainment.

Bournville - Chocolate, cricket and manicured lawns — is there anything else needed for a better world? The village is truly beautiful and inhabitants have to adhere to the rules of the Bournville Village Trust, eg keep a tidy, well-kept garden, in order to keep the area this way. What's more, because of the Methodist origins of the Cadbury family who founded this suburb, there is not one pub to be found here. You can find, however, Cadbury World with its history of chocolate, work reforms and idealism. It's quite a family-oriented district, although tens of thousands of visitors pass through yearly.
