Moving to or from Edgbaston? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before Five Ways Roundabout Sends You Round in Circles)
Welcome to Edgbaston — Birmingham’s leafy, elegant suburb where Victorian villas meet modern apartments and the cricket ground is practically a local landmark. With around 25,000 residents who know the Calthorpe Estate backroads better than any sat‑nav, Edgbaston blends calm neighbourhood charm with city‑centre convenience.
Schools That Actually Impress
Edgbaston High School for Girls, King Edward’s School, King Edward VI High School for Girls, and Hallfield School all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results over flat whites on the High Street.
Economy With a Balance
Edgbaston’s economy is powered by the University of Birmingham, the QE Hospital, private healthcare, research, and a growing tech and life‑sciences scene. Add in quick commuter links to Birmingham city centre, and you’ve got a neighbourhood that’s polished, connected, and quietly thriving.
Things to Do (Besides Debating Cricket Strategy)
Edgbaston Stadium – world‑class cricket and matchday buzz.
Birmingham Botanical Gardens – glasshouses, lawns, and a perfect Sunday‑afternoon wander.
Local favourites – Cannon Hill Park, MAC arts centre, and independent cafés that make the school run slightly more bearable.
