Location

Kingstanding is a northern suburb of Birmingham, situated seven miles from the city centre. The area gets its name from King Charles I, who is said to have reviewed his troops here on 18 October 1642 during the English Civil War. Initially known as King’s Standing, the area remained largely rural until large-scale residential development began in 1928. Most of the housing present today was constructed during the 1930s and 1940s. Kingstanding is renowned as a transport hub, with frequent bus services connecting it to various parts of Birmingham and the city centre.
