Digbeth
A former industrial district now home to street art, independent bars and night markets, with the Custard Factory and filming locations for Peaky Blinders.
Digbeth lies just southeast of the Bull Ring and is Birmingham's coolest creative quarter. Victorian red-brick warehouses are covered in large murals, and the Custard Factory, a former custard powder factory, now houses studios, vintage shops and cafés. On weekends the Digbeth Dining Club street food night market is very popular, and in the evenings there is live music and craft beer. Several street scenes from the TV drama Peaky Blinders were filmed nearby. It is worth exploring at any time of day, but take care of your belongings after dark. It is a 5-minute walk from Moor Street station.
