Selly Park sits in that leafy stretch of south Birmingham between the busy Bristol Road and the meanderings of the River Rea. Originally part of the historic Selly Hall estate, it developed in the late 19th century as a quiet residential suburb, and you can still see that Victorian influence in the substantial brick villas and the wide, tree-lined avenues of the Selly Park Conservation Area. It feels notably greener and more settled than its student-heavy neighbour, Selly Oak, yet it remains within easy walking distance of the University of Birmingham and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. For getting outdoors, Cannon Hill Park and the Rea Valley Cycle Route are right on the doorstep, offering a clear path straight into the city centre. While the area has historically dealt with flood risks from the Rea, recent extensive Environment Agency works have significantly altered the landscape along the riverbanks to better manage the water flow through the valley.
