The Birmingham Bullring is one of Europe's busiest shopping centres with 160 shops attracting over 36 million visitors in the first year after its redevelopment in 2000 - 2003. Distributed over 3 levels and 110,000 square metres of retail space, the Birmingham Bullring Shopping Centre includes the two flagship department stores of Debenhams and Selfridges. Debenhams is the largest branch outside of London, and Selfridges is one of only four nationwide. Selfridges store is the curvaceous, disc covered building that was apparently inspired by a Paco Rabanne sequinned dress. The building has become something of an icon for Birmingham, having been photographed from every conceivable angle!

There is parking at the Bullring for 3,100 cars. The multi-storey car park opposite Selfridges is connected to the store's third level via what is known as the Parametric Bridge, a 37 metre long curved and covered structure, which also provides access from Moor Street Station.

The original Bullring Shopping Centre was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1964 and was the first indoor, city centre shopping mall in Britain. When first opened it was considered a very cutting edge design, but soon became viewed as just another example of poor 60's concrete architecture, leading to demolition of it in 2000-2001. Only the Rotunda building remains from the original Bullring; now converted into apartments, some of which are available as serviced apartments and ideally located adjacent to the Bullring for a weekend shopping trip.

Birmingham Bullring takes its name from a hoop of iron on a green where bulls where tethered to be baited prior to slaughter. There is some interesting historical information on the Birmingham Grid website and more details on the Bullring on Wikipedia.
