About

Harborne West is a residential district situated to the southwest of Birmingham city centre. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to larger semi-detached homes and modern developments. It contains several local shopping parades providing everyday amenities, with the main High Street offering a broader range of shops and services to the east. Green spaces like the Harborne Walkway, a former railway line, provide routes for walking and cycling through the area.

The district is served by a number of schools and community facilities, contributing to its self-contained nature. Transport links include bus routes connecting to the city centre and neighbouring suburbs like Bearwood and Quinton. The area maintains a quiet, suburban atmosphere distinct from the bustle of central Birmingham. The Harborne Pool and Fitness Centre serves as a focal point for local recreation and community activity.
