Walking and cycling

One of The Octagon’s greatest advantages is walkability. Colmore Row, Paradise, Bullring, the Jewellery Quarter and key cultural venues are all within minutes. Daily errands, meetings and social plans require little effort.

Secure cycle storage further supports active commuting and sustainable travel, reinforcing a commitment to contemporary, environmentally aware living.

National rail connections

Birmingham’s two mainline railway stations – New Street and Snow Hill – are within easy walking distance, placing London less than 90 minutes away and providing direct links to Manchester, Bristol, Leeds and further afield.

For professionals working internationally, Birmingham Airport is just a nine-minute train journey away. Early departures and late returns feel manageable when home is just moments from the station.

The Octagon supports careers that extend way beyond the city, while remaining firmly rooted within it.

The Metro and local bus networks operate close to the building, providing effortless connections across Birmingham and into surrounding districts.

Whether commuting to a client’s office, attending events across the city or meeting friends for a night out, the wider region remains easily accessible without reliance on a car.
