About

Five Ways South sits at the junction where five roads converge, giving the area its name. The road and rail connections make it a transport node: Five Ways station on the Cross-City Line provides regular trains into Birmingham New Street, and several bus routes run along Hagley Road. The streets here mix late-Victorian residential terraces with mid‑ and late‑20th century office buildings and small shops, so day‑to‑day life includes commuter flows, local trade and some professional services clustered around the junction.

Calthorpe Park lies immediately to the west, laid out from land once owned by the Calthorpe Estate and forming a green rectangle between housing streets. The park offers lawns, mature trees, play equipment and marked spaces for informal sport, used by residents and nearby workers at lunchtime. Paths link the park to surrounding roads, and the estate’s street pattern is still visible in the grid of terraces and crescents that step away from the park toward Edgbaston and Five Ways.
