The Vibe:This is a meticulously maintained time capsule where the Cadbury legacy dictates everything from the paint color on your fence to the lack of local boozers. The Cross-City line makes commuting easy, but you'll be sharing the platform with a high concentration of University of Birmingham academics and architects. It is quiet, orderly, and feels entirely detached from the grit of the surrounding city.
