About

Soho & Jewellery Quarter is a central Birmingham ward combining distinct industrial heritage with dense residential areas. The Jewellery Quarter section is a nationally significant historic centre for gold and silver craft, characterised by its Georgian and Victorian workshops and independent trade. Soho itself is primarily residential, featuring Victorian terraced housing and modern apartment developments that accommodate a significant student population due to its proximity to major hospitals and universities.

The area is defined by its working legacy, with the Jewellery Quarter still housing hundreds of active jewellers, metalworkers, and specialist trades in its original buildings. Key thoroughfares like Vyse Street and Warstone Lane are lined with these small-scale manufacturers. The ward also contains key green spaces such as St Paul's Square garden and the Birmingham Canal Old Line, which runs through its southern boundary, providing a contrast to the urban workshops and housing estates.
