Covering: Birmingham city centre, Edgbaston, Selly Oak, Moseley, Digbeth, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull and the rest of the B postcode area.
The local landmark: The Bullring with its curved Selfridges building and the Library of Birmingham dominate the city centre.
Students: The University of Birmingham, Aston University and Birmingham City University give the city one of the largest student populations in the UK, with student lets concentrated in Selly Oak.
On the ground: Red brick terraces dominate the student streets of Selly Oak and Moseley, while the city centre is high rise and canal side apartment blocks, most with lifts. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Students dominate September and June, and a steady flow of graduates and young professionals moves between Birmingham and London in both directions for work.
While you wait for the van: Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice.
