Dating in City Centre
In shortThe city centre is the easy middle ground for a first date, with New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill stations all close by. The canals run right through it, so a quiet walk is never far from the shops and bars. Brindleyplace and Gas Street Basin are good places to meet.

A canal walk from Gas Street Basin
Gas Street Basin is a short walk from New Street station and sits on the city's canal ring with Brindleyplace. The Canal & River Trust says Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice, with waterfront bars and restaurants along the way.
