About

Bournbrook & Selly Park is a residential ward situated to the south of Birmingham's city centre, bordering the University of Birmingham's main campus. The area is largely defined by student accommodation and Victorian terraced housing, with a mix of local shops and cafes along the Bristol Road. Its proximity to the university creates a consistent academic population, shaping much of the local commerce and community rhythm throughout the year.

The ward contains Selly Park itself, a quiet neighbourhood of larger detached and semi-detached homes. A notable local feature is the Selly Oak Park, which includes a historic walled garden. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal runs through the northern edge, providing a green corridor for walking and cycling. The area functions as a practical residential zone for both students and established families, with good transport links into the city centre.
