A walk along Stratford Road; which is like a "little India" or "little Pakistan "due the presence of so many Indian & Pakistani shops.
The Sparkhill district has a large Pakistan and Indian population and has been made famous by the BBC's British sitcom Citizen Khan.
Very close by is Ladypool Road, which has around about 50 Indian & Pakistani restaurants and is a part of the famous "Balti Triangle" the area comes alive in the evening after 6:00pm.

I used to cycle down this road every day for exercise I live in solihull & down this road of a morning the smells in the air is unreal. The food cooking makes you feel hungry I might start again I loved this route.

People in the comments are judging it without knowing it or having been there. The religions in Birmingham may not be 'British', but many of them are born there. I am white and grew up in Birmingham. There are so many personalities and histories and cultures there, it's beautiful. I now live in a prominently white-area and honestly, I'd move back the millisecond I could.

What are you on mate? Birmingham is the MOST culturally different area in the UK. London (I have been to it, and have relatives that have lived there) isn't as culturally different as Birmingham (closer than most other areas). Furthermore is one word, too. Also Birmingham is NOT a very racist area nor is it segregated. Races integrate fabulously - black people, Muslims, Hindus, Catholics, and on the whole: black people, white people, Asian people, mix people. The list goes on. Please know your shit before commenting.

I was born and raised in this area, the politicians should hang their heads in shame for the mess that has ensued. This is a Christian area, I was christened at St Johns. The invaders have no wish to assimilate into our way of life, therefore I fear the worst. They come from countries ravaged by war, and bring their problems with them. Their religion encourages them to have in bred relationships with each other and therefore puts a massive strain on the NHS. How I wish for the old days

Interesting take on life @bloodmoon - one would hope you’d have the self preserving intelligence to avoid such actions in most major big cities in the UK. To me it world be common sense . But you can see by the likes of “average alien “ that common sense is not very …. Common. I just looked up the last dozen or so major s#xual assaults and interestingly all the perpetrators were anglo Saxons or white of some sort . One would almost think that racial group has a predilection for such actions 😮 Such a strange world we live in
