Been a few years since I was here. Same toastie and coffee as usual. Costa WiFi but can't sign into it. Used to be O2 WiFi years ago. Been going to the Harborne Caffe Nero more in recent times.
Famous Birmingham landmark with discs on the outside. Popular for taking photos! Near no 35 and 50 bus stops. Opposite Moor Street Station.
WH Smith, Boots, BHS, HMV, Costa and Marks & Spencer all here. Occasionally markets here on weekends.
It does get busy (at weekends) as a previous reviewer says! May struggle to find a table indoors (when cold and wet outside). I once got the wrong toastie but they quickly got me the right one!

Open Tuesday to Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday. On two floors. Free entry but donations welcome. Reopened in 2017 after refurbishment. Cafe and gift shop on ground floor.
Want to get out the quiet way? Use the Livery Street entrance! I've never seen anyone else use it at the weekend. Always quiet. Allows access to Jewellery Quarter and Great Charles Street Queensway.
On the no 6, 49, 31 and 76 bus routes. Shirley Parkgate opened in 2014. Beyond the big Sainsburys are several retail parks. PC World is nearby. New traffic layout near Parkgate and former Powergen.
In Acocks Green village you can switch from a no 37 bus to an 11A, 11C or a 1 or 31. Buses to Birmingham or Solihull.
Faster to get to Wolverhampton by train from Birmingham compared to the Midland Metro! A bus interchange is nearby.
Bus interchange for the 61, 63, 11A and 11C at Selly Oak Triangle, on the Bristol Road, near Sainsbury's. The 76 and X64 also pass through Selly Oak.
Near the entrance is a ticket barrier, so remember to have bought tickets before you travel through here! Ticket machine is nearby. Steps and bridge down to both platforms. Also has lifts.
Bus interchange for the 11A, 11C, 35 and 50 (also 76). Loads of shops, a Sainsburys's and ASDA. Village square sometimes has markets on some Saturday's.
Great for graffiti street art. And has various pieces of public art, such as the Green Man and you can see a dragon inside! Has various shops inside, but not really explored those much.
Book your tickets online in advance to guarantee a place. Although we were able to go around the experience half an hour before. Plenty of zones to explore. The new 4D ride and Cadabra was good also.
Quiet compared to St Philip's Cathedral Churchyard square. Plenty of benches to sit on. Lovely floral displays to look at (esp in summer).
Grand pan tastes the same as at other Pizza Huts (delicious Margherita). Free refills with Pepsi, and free salad bowl. No mobile signal or 4G underground (basement floor). O2 wifi, but doesn't work
Closed on Monday's, open on other days. Believe you have to pay if you want to enter mill, but grounds, and cafe are free entrance (I think). Recently restored again. On 11A / 11C / 5 bus routes.
Should fully reopen with new look Harvey Nichols in Autumn 2015. Access to Gas Street Basin and the canals. BBC Birmingham and various restaurants are here.
A park for all seasons! Seems busy during the weekend. Quiet on weekdays. Loads of geese around, also gulls some swans and ducks. Would advise against people feeding birds with bread.
