Brindley Place Canalside Car Park

Secure and well located for nearby entertainment venues. But parking spaces very narrow and a bit pricey.
Top tip — don’t queue at outside payment machines when you return — go to machine + manned kiosk inside foyer.

Close by to the likes of the Sea Life Centre, Brindley Place restaurants and bars, Bannatynes Spa and Broad Street this is a perfect car park location.
I agree with the other reviewers though, avoid this car park like the plague if there are any events going on at the NIA. The car park gets grid locked and a result you can’t get out! I actually ended up going for a meal as a result to kill a few hours.
Charges are standard for the centre of Brum — £3.40 for up to 2 hours and you can pre-​pay for your parking ticket.
There are lifts and stairs on each level making the car park access for all, as well as a ramped area by the pay stations on the ground floor.

One of Birminghams smallest car parks and one of the closet ones to Broadstreet and obviously Brinley Place.
This is one of Birminghams newest carparks and it shows, all the fittings are brand new and all the lifts work. No crackheads in the stairwells yet.
When something is on at the NIA this place is rammed so think twice before heading in, head over to townhall if there is.

Ooohhh, this is a classy car park. The lifts are all shiny and the stairwells are clean and urine free. It is, without doubt, Birmingham’s most prestigious multi-​storey car park.
Alas, it has a fundamental flaw. And I say this having once spent 2.5 hours trying to exit it. It was HELL. We left a show at the Crescent Theatre at the exact same time as thousands of people leaving a Peter Kay show at the nearby NIA.
We were parked on the third floor and it took us nearly three hours to make it down to ground level. Car park staff offered no explanation and they didn’t offer any compensation as we left.
Essentially, we paid £8.60 to sit in a traffic jam — though I did nip out of the car to buy Ribena and a Ginsters. It was a horrid experience (Ribena and pasty aside). As a result, I now hate this car park, Peter Kay and people who pay to go and see Peter Kay.
Park there by all means (it is a nice car park), just make sure you time your exit not to clash with kicking out time at the NIA
