About

Five Ways North is a central district of Birmingham located immediately northwest of the city's core. The area is anchored by the historic Five Ways roundabout, a major traffic junction where several key roads converge. It functions primarily as a commercial and business hub, containing numerous office buildings and professional services. The area transitions into quieter residential streets with Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing as you move away from the main thoroughfares.

The locale is directly adjacent to the expansive Calthorpe Park, providing significant green space. It is well-served by its namesake railway station, offering quick connections into Birmingham New Street. The area's street plan is dominated by the large, landscaped roundabout at its heart, which is encircled by commercial properties and serves as a primary gateway into the city centre from the western suburbs.
