Parking

We have our own car park at the rear of the building. Drive behind the service road and the car park is immediately on your right hand side.

Rail

Viewing Options is situated to the North of Birmingham City Centre and placed equidistant between Birmingham New Street and Birmingham International train stations. All trains coming from London Euston stop at both Birmingham International and New Street stations.

We advise anyone arriving during rush hour traffic to terminate their journey at International as the roads to Four Oaks are not quite as busy as trying to cross the city centre. The journey from both stations with take approx. 25 minutes.

Alternatively, you can change trains at New Street to catch the cross city line heading to Lichfield City and terminate your journey at Four Oaks station, which is less than half a mile from us. We are always happy to send a car to pick up any passengers arriving at Four Oaks station.
