Driving to West Midlands

Birmingham's infamous Spaghetti Junction, possibly the largest motorway intersection in the country, lies at Junction 6 of the M6 Motorway and several other main roads. It connects the M6 north and south to the M1, the M5 and the A38M into Birmingham city centre. It also stands astride a network of canals, rivers and railway lines.

National Exhibition Centre and International Airport are within easy reach of the M1, M6, M40 and M42

M6 and M5 near Birmingham and the Black Country can be very congested to say the least
