- Join us as we spend 24 hours exploring the city of Birmingham which, despite the awful weather, has been named the most vibrant city in the UK.
We begin our adventure at Brindley Place where we discover an incredible Mexican restaurant before retiring to our hotel for the night, the Leonardo Royal right in the heart of the city.
The next day we are greeted by a wind and rain storm but we arent about to let that dampen our spirits. First up is coffe at Yorks Cafe before our plans to cruise Birmingham’s canals are thwarted and we resort to strolling them in the pouring rain.
Luckily for us Birmingham is full of world class indoor spaces from the Bull Ring shopping centre and markets, Grand Central Station and the National Sea Life Centre. We also seek refuge in the most vibrant cat cafe we have ever seen!
We find a break in the weather to explore Birmingham’s China Quarter where we treat ourselves to a boba milk tea and some sweet treats 😋
So grab your umbrella (and maybe some wellies) and explore one of the UK’s most vibrant cities with us. ☔️
📍Recorded August 2023 in Birmingham, England

You boys have the most incredible positive energy!
Thank you! 🥰
Hello Boys ,I just found you a few days ago ,well, I love your videos and your funny way of showing us around ,and share all your adventures .You give so much positive vibes!!!Thank you so much !!!love from hamburg, germany😀Erika&Uwe
Aw thank you! & welcome to our channel! ❤️
Best impression of a shark thing with a flat head that I have ever seen!
It looks like you had a super fun day even with the rain xx
I'm glad you had a lovely time in our city ❤❤❤
We absolutely did thank you. We will be back and next time we will preorder some sunshine! 😃
Even with the rain, Birmingham looks lovely! And that hotel looked comfy!😃☕
Always best to have a Plan B, C, D or even E for the Great British Weather!🌧Having only ever seen the inside of the NEC Birmingham it was good to see some other bits up there. Kitty's🐱 seems to be a whole lot better than the Kent Cat Cafe's I've been to. The one's in Herne Bay & Tonbridge could do with an upgrade judging by the surroundings & food at the Birmingham example! Looked fab there. You two always make me smile on your travels 😊😊 x J x
What a shame it rained, I like Birmingham, always something going on. You certainly didn't let it put you off and the Kitty Cafe, who would have believed that?????😆😆
It is a shame it rained but living in the UK you can’t let that stop you! Loved the kitty cafe 🐱
If you return, there are great bars and restaurants around Colmore Row and Bennetts Hill. This area by the Town Hall and Council House has some great Victorian architecture. The Jewellery Quarter has a couple of interesting museums set in the old factories which give you a flavour of the old industry in the area. The are also many good places to eat in that area too.
in September i visit Bristol, i think my next city Trip in UK goes to Birmingham.
Love Bristol and loved Birmingham. 2 very different cities but we are sure you will enjoy both!
Birmingham has become one of the world's great cities. It has had a complete transformation.
I hope you are on the mend Josh ? Were your cats 🐈⬛ 🐈 miffed, that you were slagging around with other cats ?
How did you find the vibe of Birmingham? Did you find the locals friendly, or cranky? Would like to return to Birmingham, in the future?
Jason , did Josh eventually let you in the bed 🛏️, or did hold up in a chair 🪑?
❤
Finger has healed nicely but I don’t think our cats mind as long as we come home and feed them 😂
We enjoyed Birmingham, it had a chilled vibe and the people we interacted with were friendly and helpful 😊
Looks like a cool place. Shame about the weather, honestly what's happening with our summer. I bet as soon as I go back to work and the kids go back to school it will be blazing hot. Anyway you don't seem to let anything dampen your days which is really refreshing, I definitely need to take a leaf out of your book and be more positive 😂 x
Nothing is raining in our parade 😂
@@JJExtra love it. You have inspired me to enjoy places more come rain or shine x
Ever since last years Commonwealth Games my impression of Birmingham has improved, And now I feel i need a visit.
It far exceeded our expectations even in the rain. There are many preconceptions about places and we are finding most of them to be false!
As someone that's lived in Birmingham for 10 months now its a shithole and we're looking to move
Oh no sorry to hear that. Places are always viewed differently through the eyes of a tourist of course. We hope you find something soon and are happier in your new home 😊
@@JJExtra very positive
Nice place. And churros con dulce de leche. The best
Kisses
Great city (probably even better in the sunshine 😝). Mmm dulce de leche 😋
😂 ill take you some when in London again
GREAT VIDEO BOYS it is my home town i was brought up there now live in east llondon go to Cadburys world
Ooo Cadbury world is on our list 😊
Birmingham looks impressive Coffee and food also
I know you want your videos to focus on your travel adventures, but I do miss seeing all your kitties (how many are there now? 17 or so?) when you vlog at home.
No we are not in double figures 😂 they still appear on our other socials 😊
Awww - that was so much fun to watch! Y’see, it did piddle down - all day, quite hard - and it did put the kybosh on your “plans” etc, but it enabled you to do things that would have ordinarily not been on the JJExtra “Let’s ‘do’ Birmingham” Tourist Trip List! I mean, Kitty Cafe - I could not have resisted that (oh… is there such a thing as a Puppy Dog Cafe??!! 😲😲😎 - head and heart would 🤯) and then I wouldn’t have wanted to leave … and that food there!😘 The Sea Life Centre and the Pengis ❤️ another reason to just stay inside - and then you tease and torment your viewing subscribers with pictures and descriptions of delicious looking Chinese sweet meats and Josh eating one! You are too cruel!
I have never been IN to Birmingham - I’ve been through it, around it and underneath it but have never stopped to visit the City itself…I now think I need to give it a whirl!
Hate to correct the JJExtra dialogue (unless I heard you incorrectly 🥺) Westfield is the biggest shopping centre in Europe now, with jolly old Bluewater (my local and a place I know, that you know, coming in at a close second)
Just a quick question - have you “done” Chester at all?
Can’t let the rain ruin the fun now can we? A puppy dog cafe sounds cool but chaotic 😂
The Bull Ring is the largest ‘inner city shopping centre in the Uk’ with Westfield and Bluewater not being inner city sites 😉
We have done Chester, the video is on the channel but we need to get back and do an updated one!
@@JJExtra I stand corrected on the biggest shopfest in da world (well, GB 🥺) …. Is the Trafford Centre in Manc an “inner city” one? Because that’s pretty hoooge too!
We are “thinking” of going to Chester - hub to see all the historic parts of the City - me? I want to spend the whole day in Chester Zoo!!
Sorry but the Birmingham Bullring along with Grand Central which just one Shopping Mall now under one management joined together by a Bridge with shops on plus it's Rag and Fruit and Veg Open Market is since it's rebuild one of the biggest City Center covered Shopping Malls in Europe
Just seen the bit on the video and they are correct, the Bullring/Grand Central is the biggest City Center indoor shopping Center in Europe. Both Westfield and Blue water are not in a City Center they are out of Town shopping centers and not in the City of London.
Just the city centre every where else in brum Town is 💩
