Council House
The Council House gives Victoria Square its Victorian civic backdrop. An exterior stop works within a central walk; the ceremonial rooms offer a separate, more focused experience.

This is the seat of Birmingham’s council, giving the architecture a continuing civic purpose. The building rewards attention from the square, while its Council Chamber, grand staircase and Banqueting Suite explain how public business and ceremony share the same complex. Those interiors belong to an arranged visit rather than a casual walk through.
What to look for
The Victorian frontage faces the open space of Victoria Square.
The grand staircase and Council Chamber form part of the interior tour experience.
The Banqueting Suite overlooks Victoria Square.
Useful to know
Combine the exterior with Victoria Square; allow a separate block of time for an interior tour.
