If its for the hippodrome you can park in the arcadian centre car park for a fixed rate .......did this recently for Chitty bang bang, but can remember the cost! think it was around £4/5? Belive it is an ncp so could be worth ringing.

Are there any places to park in Birmingham City Centre for next to nothing? I literally have to pick something up on Corporation Street (take 15 mins) and I've never driven into Birmingham before.

Was perfect. About £7 for the whole day. It's in the China town area, so if you like chinese there are dozens to choose from.

Whenever I am forced to go to Brum, I use a side street by the N.I.A. called St Marks Cescent. Haven't got a postcode for satnav but it is on page 66 square B2 if you can get hold of a Brum Ordnance Survey. It is right on the boundary of the street charging zone and would take you 10 mins. to walk to Corporation Street. I have used it for some years now and have never had any unpleasant surprises when when I have returned to my car.
The good news is, it's downhill on your return journey to your car.

If I plan to spend a long day in Bham, I park around the far end of Newhall Street (near Graham Street). Its all FREE around there and about a 10min walk down to Colmore Row/Coproration Street.
