Moving to or from Harborne? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the High Street Tempts You Into Yet Another Coffee Stop)
Welcome to Harborne — Birmingham’s leafy suburb with a village feel, a High Street that could double as a café crawl, and Victorian houses that make estate agents swoon. With around 25,000 residents, Harborne blends city convenience with suburban charm, all just three miles from Birmingham city centre.
Schools That Actually Impress
Harborne Primary and St Mary’s are well‑regarded, while nearby secondary options include Lordswood and King Edward VI schools. Translation: your kids will get a solid education and you’ll get used to hearing about school trips to Symphony Hall before they’ve even mastered their recorder.
Economy With a Suburban Buzz
Harborne thrives on independents — cafés, restaurants, and boutiques that give the High Street its character. Add in supermarkets, services, and easy access to Birmingham’s business districts, and you’ve got a suburb that’s as practical as it is stylish.
Things to Do (Besides Ordering Another Flat White)
Harborne High Street – a café‑lover’s paradise, with more brunch spots than you can shake a latte at.
Harborne Walkway – a green corridor perfect for joggers, dog‑walkers, and anyone pretending to be outdoorsy.
Local favourites – The Plough for food and drink, Harborne Pool & Fitness Centre for a workout, and nearby Edgbaston for cricket and leafy strolls.
