Around the corner

The Jewellery Quarter sits just north-west of the city centre: independent cafés and bars, the Great Western Arcade and Bullring for shopping, and direct trains and trams from Jewellery Quarter and Snow Hill stations.

We have written both up properly: the walk to campus street by street, and everything within a ten-minute walk.
