About

Kings Heath sits about three miles south of Birmingham city centre. The area is built around its high street along Alcester Road, where independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs line the parade. A long‑running music venue, the Hare & Hounds on Alcester Road South, hosts live acts and brings evening footfall to the street. Kings Heath Park offers open space, play areas and a community garden used for local events, and small commercial stretches extend into adjacent streets with a mix of long‑established traders and newer food outlets.

Community life is organised around the high street, the park and local groups that run markets, street events and neighbourhood projects. Public transport is mainly by frequent bus routes into the city; the Camp Hill rail corridor runs close by and there are long‑standing plans to reinstate passenger stations that would serve Kings Heath. Housing ranges from Victorian terrace rows to later suburban houses, and a network of residents’ associations and traders’ groups shapes day‑to‑day activity and annual programming.
