Bordesley Green

Bordesley Green lies to the east of Birmingham city centre and combines residential streets with pockets of light industry and retail along major routes such as Coventry Road. The built environment mixes late‑Victorian terraces and council housing with industrial estates and local shopping parades, and its location gives good bus and road links into the city and nearby districts like Small Heath and Digbeth.

The area is known for a lively, multicultural community with many South Asian shops, halal butchers, cafes and mosques alongside community centres and grassroots groups. Parts of Bordesley Green have seen regeneration and local campaigning to tackle deprivation and improve facilities, so it’s an area of practical urban character where strong social networks sit alongside small manufacturing and retail economies.
