It is the cultural, social, financial and commercial centre of the Midlands, and also the main centre of the West Midlands conurbation, which is the third most populated urban area in the United Kingdom.
The wider Birmingham metropolitan area is the second largest in the United Kingdom. Birmingham is frequently referred to as the United Kingdom’s “second city”.
