SHOPPING - The Bullring Shopping Centre is the golliath of British shopping centres . The shopping centre consists of two main buildings (East and West Mall) which are connected by an underground passage lined with shops and is also accessible from St Martin's Square via glass doors. The doors to both wings from New Street can be removed when crowds get large and queues develop at the doors. This feature also allows cars for display to be driven into the building.

They are sheltered by a glass roof known as the SkyPlane which covers 7,000 square metres (75,347.4 sq ft) and appears to have no visible means of support. The two malls are different internally in design. The balustrades in the East Mall consist of integrated glass 'jewels' within the metal framework, and are of different colours formed through polyester powder coating. Touchscreen computers are located throughout the building which allow a user to search for the location of a certain store or browse a map of the complex. It features a dramatic landmark building, housing a branch of Selfridges department store with a highly unique a design architecturally. The store is clad in no less than 15,000 shiny aluminium discs and was inspired by a Paco Rabanne sequinned dress.
