Earth from the Air - where am
I standing? by M0B1US
Either way it is a popular meeting place and walkway between Broad Street, the canal area, Brierley Place and those passing on foot to the city centre with Victoria Square a couple of hundred yards east.
Many live concerts and events take place in the square including the now popular New Year's Celebrations - So a bit like Trafalgar Square without Nelson's Column...
Currently there is also a mini 'London Eye', or perhaps 'Birmingham Eye' here and a travelling exhibition of the Earth from the Air, which is way cool and open 24hrs!
For me the best feature is that the square constitutes part of an extended pedestrianised avenue free of cars that easily stretches a couple of miles from Brierley Place all the way to the Bullring taking in some of Birmingham's best sights along the way...
"You can take a pleasant walk from Broad Street and the waterside canal area by the NIA, walk indoors through the International Convention Centre with its modern and tasteful interior and out into Centenary Square. From Centenary Square head for the Library and walk through the arcade into Chamberlain Square, Victoria Square and the city centre."
There are also some examples of public art and interesting buildings in the square such as the Spirit of Enterprise, the torch, Baskerville House and the Hall of Memory. Leave a Comment Directions: Between Brierley Place and Victoria Square
