City Life
Aston’s excellent location within Birmingham City centre offers you all the advantages of living in England’s vibrant and multicultural second city, Birmingham - home to over 65,000 students.


Birmingham is flourishing and is internationally recognised as a leader in leisure, entertainment, business, shopping, industry and sport. The city centre is a fusion of attractive squares, modern shopping arcades, diverse pubs, clubs and restaurants and fine museums, theatres and art galleries – truly a World City.

A Cultural Crossroads

Birmingham is a natural meeting point. Diverse cultural influences are easy to spot everywhere in the city. Different nationalities, religions, arts, interests and ideas all exist side-by-side, giving the city’s people and businesses the gutsy confidence to always try something different and to explore everything new.
  • Nearly 40% of the city’s population is under 25 – fuelling change and innovation.
  • Nearly a third of Birmingham’s residents are of minority ethnic origin, bringing a rich cultural mix to the city.
  • Over 90% of the UK market, customers and businesses are within a four-hour drive of the city.
  • It was always a risk putting 12th and 21st century architecture so close together. And although the clashing styles of St Martin’s Church and Selfridges at Bullring may divide opinion, it remains one of the country’s most striking examples of architectural fusion.
  • The Drum is Europe’s first arts centre dedicated to developing and promoting African, Caribbean and Asian arts and culture.
