73 reviewsSituated in the heart of the city, GWA is the destination for a unique shopping experience in Birmingham.
Elegant and over-flowing with Victorian charm, we are home to award-winning retailers and pride ourselves on giving visitors the best experiences and retailers.
Often described as the ‘home of hidden gems’, we create a climate for smaller retailers to thrive in this fast-paced competitive marketplace, as well as give shoppers a place to escape the monotony of the high street.
Ample car parking can be found nearby, particularly in the Snow Hill car park.
TRAVEL BY BUS
GWA is well served by buses, with most stopping on Colmore Row, Corporation Street and Bull Street. For timetables, maps and routes please click here.
