Location
Edgbaston is an affluent suburban area of central Birmingham, curved around the southwest of the city centre and is bordered by Moseley to the South East and by Smethwick and Winson Green to the North West. Edgbaston is famous for many reasons, including the celebrated Edgbaston Stadium. Some of the biggest matches in cricket history have been played at the Stadium. England has played at Edgbaston on numerous occasions. This year, Edgbaston Stadium will host the world-famous Ashes test series between England and Australia.
