Since its completion in 1876, this magnificent three-storey structure, adorned with Corinthian-style columns, pediments, and intricate floral panels, has stood proudly between Colmore Row and Temple Row. The arcade hosts a diverse range of businesses, including Birmingham’s upscale Greggs, Michelin Guide-listed restaurant Land, wine merchants Loki, the acclaimed Anderson and Hill deli, and the popular Mexican eatery Habanero.
