5. Tony Hancock statue
A Tony Hancock statue hangs proudly in Old Square, but yes, you guessed it - not everyone likes the statue! One visitor wrote that: "Unless you are a huge Tony Handcock fan who's dying wish is to see a dirty, flimsy "sculpture" in the middle of a roundabout I would give this one a miss." | Birmingham City Council
6. The Mailbox
The Mailbox is the UK's largest mixed use destinations outside London. With luxury department stores including chain Harvey Nichols, it's a must visit destination for shoppers coming to the city. But not according to one person, who said tere was "Nothing worth to see." | Shutterstock
7. The Bullring
Offering over 240 stores and restaurants, The Bullring is of course one of the city's most famous destinations filmed with big clothing and food chains - but one person wrote simply wrote: "I prefer Merry Hill" - controversial! | Bullring
8. Aston Hall
Aston Hall is one of the city's most popular landmarks. Designed by John Thorpe and built between 1618 and 1635, Aston Hall is packed with architectural gems and historical treasures, including the breath-taking Long Gallery and the great oak staircase, which still shows the battle scars of the English Civil War. Costume tours are often held at the venue, and it acts as Cinderella’s house, where pupils will learn about homes from the past. During a tour of the hall a few years ago though, one TripAdvisor reviewer complained that: "The people in costume just stood there." | Google Maps
