Selfridges
Large department store in the bullring. Selfridges is a great place for all yourlatest designer clothes and gadgets galore. Overpriced but worth it if you can afford it.

This store is probably the biggest and best in the bull ring. It is so big it would take me ages to look at everything in it, and i could probably get lost too. The sweet section is very extensive, with American sweets imported to satisfy my needs! There is so much to see, that you are probably going to get hungry from your walking about. Don't worry, there is even a restaurant in there too! A shop you MUST go into, when in the bullring!

Selfridges
Selfridges is the highlight of the bullring. It has every designer you can thik of and has a massive food hall downstairs. First of all the clothes are absolutly amazing they all vary in price from topshop to juicy coture. There is half a floor of shoes and even a hairdressers in there!! There is a cafe right at the very top and it is very posh. There is a part of touchwood with all technical goods including tvs ipods playstations etc. Downstairs in the food hall there is yo sushi, krispy cream(ABSOLUTLY AMAZING DOHNUTS!!) and many many more. There is also a shop there which sells food. There is a sweet section with a pic a mix of normal sweets and then just jelly beans. There is a big bull made form jelly beans in there. there is paperchase, a bed store, a store which sells kitchen goods etc. If you go to birmingham you MUST go there!!

Selfridges is the best shop i have ever been to. It has everything you want i there. My favourite part in there is the sweet part because they do such different sweets and they are so nice. The shop is quite expensive though. It is really well presented and the shop is really really clean. The staff are really pleasent and really friendly. Everyone needs to visit selfridges because it is so amazing.

Selfridges is an amazing shop and especially its clothes. It has nearly every designer there so it is nice to go and have a look at all the nice clothes. My favourite part is looking at the jewellery, cause even though you cant afford it, it is still amazing and you can still wish for it. the restaurants and food on the grouund floor are really expensive but really nice. My favourite is pret de manger bacause the sandwitches are really exotic and different, and there sushi is great. Pret de Manger is also quite cheap there compared to the others. But if anyone goes to selfridges they have to try the crispy cream donughts. THEY ARE TO DIE FOR!! Selfridges is layed out really well adn it is very clean (even the toilets are pretty)(LOL)...!!

Great shop to look around because there's so many shops and stands in here, all more upmarket. Downstairs is the food court where you can buy the famous Krispy Kreme donuts which are really tasty. There are lots of other food places to choose from too, but of course it's quite expensive and tends to attract business people and those who can afford it. Upstairs is the clothing level where there are lots of great brands to choose from, including the great Cheap Monday. Then the final level is the make up section stocking make up from Nars, Benefit and MAC as well as lots of other great brands. There is even a piercing and tatoo parlour on the 2nd floor, which isn't that great to be perfectly honest. However, the staff in Selfridges are very friendly and helpful and I always love to look around here.

What doesnt this store have?! I love the modern outside view of it, it looks incredible, and more like something you will find in London! I love the sushi bar which has a conveyor belt going round with the dishes on. It stocks paperchase stationary, Topshop clothes and many more in the extensive shop. It is a luxurious place to walk around and the staff are friendly.

This is more of a shopping experience than a mere department store, they offer all the latest and greatest brands, with many high-fashion items with alarming price tags. The food court is breathe taking and has many different types of eatery ranging from sushi to cake shops and a huge champagne collection. My advice if your thinking of visiting from another town is go when the sales are on because once my girlfriend got a jacket that had 80% off! Definately a must see if your visiting Birmingham.

Although Selfridges is not known for it's cheap prices it is definately known for its excellent variety and quality. This branch is no exception, it's definately worth a visit as the service is tip top and the porducts are great.

Such a quirky designed buliding with its 42 000 (or thereabouts!) silver discs covering the exterior, and huge white perpex escalators and balconies interiorally. beautiful stuff everywhere wall to wall inside, like the food which looks amazing but is too expensive to buy and the amazing designers stocked like Sass and Bide and Stella McCartney amidst the obvious larger names like Dior and Chanel. Also houses a tattoo and piercing parlour, beauty salon, Umberto Giannini's hairdresser and personal shopper service.

Fabulous shopping experience! It's not just the products on offer, it's the displays!! Especially at christmas, the shop makes a huge effort to display products with real style, especially the Home and Kitchen goods. It's ideal for gifts, like speciality chocolates and teas, which you can't buy in supermarkets. Great!

Selfridges, one of four in the uk and the only one in the midlands, so do expect it to be buzzing full of people! set over three floors, has a cool, modern interior. The ground floor has a variety of little restaurants and has lots of little stalls selling food! The other floors are for clothing, from the ordinary hight street stores like topshop to posh designer ones!

The Selfridges store is an extremely impressive building on both the exterior and the interior. The food hall on the bottom floor is extremely impressive and diverse. The high quality products provided are reflected in the cost as it is an upper end shopping store but it has a great feel and a lovely shopping environment

Great department store, sort of like an upmarket john lewis. The displays are lovely and make you want to buy whats on display so they must be working! The staff are very helpful and attentive, particularly if you need something specific. A great shopping experience.

Selfridges Birmingham is situated on the upper Mall of the East Bullring. Its a great place to go shopping, if a little more extravagant than the usual frequented high street chains. Its like no other building as its three-dimensionally curvaceous form hugs the dramatic incline of the newly redeveloped bull ring site. In short, its quite a stunning sight!

Selfridges is wonderful, so many clothing items and an array of great gifts etc. The building is absolutely beautiful, but everything is SO expensive. I guess you would come to expect this (and although there are concessions such as Topshop that are better priced for students) as Selfridges is a huge name, but you can't help feeling a little shabby inside when you've only got what is left of your student loan in your pocket!! Good for christmas shopping though, huge range of gifts. Huge range of designer clothing. Great if you are an aspiring WAG!

Wow, this is a must even if you are only window shopping, it is an architectural masterpiece and really stands out from miles away, an icon of birmingham, obviously this is an expensive store but it is really fun to just have a wonder around and think about what you buy if you were rich! the technical section is vast and you can play on all the latest games and gadgets without being pestered by staff, the food hall is magnificent with such diverse foods as sushi and italian delicacies, you can sit in and eat or buy the food to take away, make sure you check out the american crispy cream donuts, they are delicious!!

Obviously expensive but still really good fun the highlights of this Selfridges are the gadget section and the food court. There is even a crispy creme doughnuts in the bottom which i've not seen any where else in the UK yet. The building itself is extremely striking and inside theres plenty of space and the layout is easy going

Brilliant shopping, in a really nice layout. Confectionary, restaurants and loads of clothing - from high street brands to designer outlets like Armani. Alternative and weird stuff on demand! Look out for the 20,000 jelly bean bull...

This is one of my favourite shops - it offers a really unique shopping experience. It does not just have expensive designer clothes, but regular brands like topshop, and everthing is easy to find. It has been designed in a really funky way, with a brilliant kitchen/food area.
