Brindleyplace is Birmingham's most famous and beautiful neighbourhood, created along the Gas Street water canal.
Wander the cosy quays, discover the many tree-lined squares and benches in the intricate mix of historic industrial and contemporary modern buildings, and visit one of the many great restaurants or pubs.
The main axis of Brindleyplace is the Gas Street Basin, the start of the Worcester & Birmingham Water Canal.
It's here that you'll find the city's finest waterside promenades and waterfront relaxation spots.

Along the waterfront promenades you will find many local pubs and great restaurants with international cuisine.
The best areas are the waterfront directly across from the ICC or the small Mailbox shopping centre on the south Gas Street Canal.
