About

Edgbaston South & University sits west of Birmingham city centre and combines a large university campus with residential streets. The University of Birmingham campus occupies much of the northern part, set around red-brick halls, open lawns and the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, known locally as "Old Joe". The campus hosts the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Winterbourne House and Garden and a small railway stop, University station, on the Cross-City Line. Bristol Road runs along the southern edge of the campus and links the area to local shopping parades and bus routes.

Residential sections in the ward include terraces and Victorian villas, with local shops, pubs and cafés clustered along Bristol Road and surrounding streets. Birmingham Botanical Gardens lie within the area and Edgbaston Cricket Ground hosts county and international matches on Pershore Road. Day-to-day life mixes students, staff and long-term residents; community facilities include sports fields, a library and parks maintained by the university and local council. The area’s pattern of avenues and campus quadrangles gives it a clear sense of place.
