This article is about Birmingham, England; see also Birmingham, Alabama and other towns called Birmingham
Birmingham is, with about one million inhabitants, the second largest city in the United Kingdom, after London. Situated in the English Midlands, it forms part of a large conurbation of over four million. This conurbation is an industrial centre, home to the Jaguar and Rover car companies. Coins are manufactured at the Birmingham Mint, the oldest independent mint in the world.
Birmingham is home to two football (soccer) teams, Aston Villa F.C. and Birmingham City.
Once considered the ugliest city in Britain, Birmingham has in recent years been renovated, with the city center now a reasonably attractive and pleasant place to walk around. It is commonly known to its inhabitants as Brum.
