Grab a seasonal lunch at Land Restaurant. The plant-focused menu is ideal before the afternoon rush. Note the strict lunch hours: 12:00-14:30.
14:53
Walk south to St Martin in the Bull Ring. This parish church, known as the 'Cathedral of the Bull Ring', offers a quiet contrast to the shopping crowds outside. The 13th-century origins are visible in the stone structure.
15:53
Head to Methodist Central Hall. The tall tower and red-brick-and-terracotta facade catch the last warm light before the sun dips below the horizon towards the SW. The street-level retail premises with original shop fronts add character to the approach.
16:23
End at the Bullring. As the golden light fades, the regionally-important shopping mall connected to Grand Central provides a bustling backdrop. Use this time to browse or simply observe the city life.
