You absolutely have to have a curry in Birmingham. It's traditional. I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the wonderful restaurant I went to (I was in a stupor from eating my own body weight in naan bread), but there are lots of websites discussing which is the best Indian restaurant in Birmingham.

I know the art gallery is supposed to have an outstanding collection of pre-Raphaelite paintings. I sadly didn't get time to have a look when I was there.

If you enjoy photography you have to go and have a look at the Selfridges store. It's gorgeous. When I went there were tons of people trying to get the perfect shot. http://www.virtualbrum.co.uk/selfridges.htm

Laura knows of what she speaks: the Balti curry houses are renowned, Google them to find names and addresses. And, as she also mentions, the outstanding Pre-Raphaelite collection is at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
