Driving Information in Birmingham City Centre
Like all large UK cities, Birmingham city centre can become quite congested, especially during the morning rush to work, and the afternoon return home. If you are staying in a city centre hotel and have appointments in or outside the city allow a little extra travelling time. That said, Birmingham’s infrastructure is remarkably good. Even the city’s notorious spaghetti junction does its job without major problems, just keep a sharp eye out for your exit. Finding your way around the city shouldn’t prove problematic. Districts and places of interest are well signposted and the city has a number of large car parks totalling 25,000 spaces. If you’re touring the country out of Birmingham, the Aston Expressway can have you heading up to the A38(M) in a matter of minutes to pick up the M6. Or, if you’re heading south, the M1 down to London is less than 30 minutes' drive from the city.
