St Andrew's Shopping Park, Birmingham: Shops, Parking, Directions and Opening Times

A Morrisons superstore and a terrace of value shops on the Coventry Road at Small Heath, round the corner from Birmingham City's ground. Two things to know before you set off: this park has no operator and no website of any kind, and it sits just outside the Birmingham Clean Air Zone. Here is what is actually published, who published it, and the long list of things nobody publishes at all.

St Andrew's Shopping Park stands on the Coventry Road at Small Heath, about two and a half miles east of Birmingham city centre and on the far side of the Bordesley Middleway from town. It is a Morrisons superstore with its own petrol station at one end and a terrace of national value, health and sports names alongside it, all sharing one car park and one postcode, B10 0XA.

There is no operator website. We looked under every plausible name and could not find a scheme site, a centre-management page, a store directory, a facilities list or a scheme telephone number. This is not the usual case of a site that exists and blocks us — there is nothing to block. What exists instead is two letting agents' marketing pages and the tenants' own national store finders. Almost every figure below is therefore somebody's agent or somebody's supermarket talking, not the park, and where they disagree nobody is in a position to settle it.

One consequence is that even the name is unsettled. The agents say St Andrew's Shopping Park, and so, in their own store records, do Greggs and JD Sports. But B&M, Boots, Iceland, Poundland and the long-gone Toys R Us all say St Andrews Retail Park, and the apostrophe comes and goes throughout. The split runs through the tenants rather than neatly between landlord and shops, and with no operator there is nobody to make either official. Searching for it, try both.

The other thing worth being sure about before you drive. Birmingham runs a Clean Air Zone, it charges around the clock, and the council's own wording is that it applies to vehicles driving within the A4540 Middleway "but not the Middleway itself". This park is east of the Bordesley Middleway, which puts it outside the zone. Coming in from the A45 or the east you never enter it. Most listings of this park do not mention the zone at all.

What follows draws on the Completely Retail and Fraser Bond scheme listings, the store pages Morrisons, Greggs and JD Sports publish for their own branches here, Zapmap, the council's Clean Air Zone pages and its adopted Bordesley Park Area Action Plan, an expired LoopNet listing and Parkopedia, all read on 13 September 2026.

The essentials

Opening times

Checked on 13 September 2026, and the honest headline is that there are no park-wide opening times. A retail park with no operator has nobody to set them and nobody to publish them. What we can give you instead is the three tenants that publish their own, on their own websites.

The three Sundays do not match, and that is the proof. Greggs trades 8.30am to 6.30pm, Morrisons 10am to 4pm, JD Sports 11am to 5pm. Three shops on one car park, three different Sunday windows. If there were a park-wide set, they would not look like that. Plan a Sunday visit around the specific shop you need. Greggs is the surprise the rest of the week too: unit 3A opens at 6.30am on weekdays and trades until 9pm Monday to Saturday, earlier and later than anything else here, Morrisons included.

One thing we are flagging rather than resolving. Morrisons' published Sunday times run 10am to 4pm, six hours. A store of that size may only trade five continuous hours on a Sunday under the Sunday Trading Act, so the 10am is almost certainly the browsing hour with tills opening at 11 — but Morrisons does not spell that out and we are not going to assert it. If getting through a till before 11 matters, ring 0121 773 2526.

Why there are no rows for B&M, Boots, Iceland and Poundland. We tried the first-party route for each, which is the only route worth trying. B&M's own store page was fetched twice and returned nothing but the website's navigation both times — it is JavaScript-rendered and its content never arrives. Boots' own store page refused us with a 403. Everything else carrying hours for these shops is a scraped aggregator, and aggregator hours for value retailers go stale faster than almost any other category. We would rather print nothing than print a guess with a confident face on it.

Getting there

By road

Use the postcode B10 0XA. No motorway junction is published for this park by anybody, and there is no operator to publish one, so we are not printing a junction number. What the letting agents say — and this is the whole of the published road guidance — is that the park is about two and a half miles east of Birmingham city centre, on the Coventry Road near its junction with Cattell Road, reached from the A4540 inner ring road. The expired LoopNet listing adds the A45, which is the Coventry Road itself. None of that is a junction. Follow the Coventry Road and the postcode.

The Clean Air Zone — you are outside it

This matters in Birmingham and it is easy to get wrong. The zone operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the council's own Charging Order page states that high-polluting vehicles "will be charged to drive within the A4540 Middleway (but not the Middleway itself)". The boundary on this side of the city runs along Dartmouth, Lawley, Watery Lane and Bordesley Middleways.

St Andrew's Shopping Park is east of the Bordesley Middleway, which puts it outside the zone. Approaching from the A45, from Yardley, Sheldon, Solihull or the motorway side, you do not enter the charging area at any point; coming out from the city centre you would be leaving it, and the Middleway you cross is not itself charged. We have printed no daily charge figure — the council's own charges page would not load for us — so if it is your vehicle rather than the geography you are unsure about, use the council's checker or ring 0300 029 8888.

Parking

Morrisons' own store page says parking is free with a three-hour maximum stay. That is first-party and it is the figure we would work to.

Two things about it are unresolved. The first is how many spaces there are: Fraser Bond says 670, Parkopedia says 558, and Parkopedia is crowd-sourced. The second is whether parking is charged at all. Parkopedia reports a tariff — £1 for an hour, £2 for three, £4 for seven, £5 for twenty-four — with Morrisons customers free for up to three hours, and it names Euro Car Parks Limited as the operator. Both positions can be true at once, because a validated free period inside a paid car park is a common arrangement. But only a crowd-sourced page says there is a charge at all, no operator or landlord source confirms it, and nobody confirms ANPR enforcement. Read the signage on arrival; on this site that is the only authority there is.

No height restriction is published by anyone — Parkopedia says there is none, which is not the same thing as a sign. Disabled bays exist per Parkopedia but no count is published, and no coach, motorhome or overnight arrangement is published. One complaint recurs in Parkopedia's reviews, worth passing on as reported experience rather than fact: "the que to leave the carpark is terrible! There is only one way in and out".

Electric vehicles

There is rapid charging here and it is properly documented, which is more than can be said for most of this park. Zapmap records a GeniePoint unit at the Morrisons — one device with three connectors, CHAdeMO at 60kW, CCS at 60kW and Type 2 at 22kW — accessible by Zap-Pay, the GeniePoint app or an RFID card, at 79p per kWh, dropping to 74p between 8pm and 8am. Morrisons' own page instead describes "2 bays". A three-connector unit can serve two bays, so those may be the same hardware counted differently, but nobody says so and we are not going to. It is rapid rather than ultra-rapid, and it is not free.

Match days

Birmingham City's ground is immediately next door — the agents say "close to", the 2019 LoopNet particulars say "adjacent". The council's adopted Bordesley Park Area Action Plan 2020 lists among its connectivity proposals: "Addressing the parking and congestion issues around St Andrew's Football Stadium on match days". When the city's own plan writes that down as a problem to solve, treat a home fixture as a reason to come another time.

By train and bus

Small Heath station is on the Coventry Road corridor east of the park and Bordesley lies to the west, although Bordesley has one of the most restricted services in the West Midlands. No source publishes a walking distance or time from either station, and none connects either to the park at all, so we are naming them and leaving the distances alone rather than guessing off a map.

The buses are the better answer. The Coventry Road is one of Birmingham's heaviest corridors: National Express West Midlands service 60 runs Birmingham – Small Heath – Yardley – Sheldon – Cranes Park along it, and the 57 and 58 group works the same road. No source names the stop for the park, so ask for the Coventry Road stops by the football ground.

Accessibility

Nothing is published for the park as a whole. There is no operator page to carry an accessibility statement, no AccessAble guide for the scheme and no Euan's Guide listing we could find. Parkopedia records that disabled bays exist. Beyond that the only facilities anyone publishes are Morrisons' own — a café, a pharmacy, bakery, butcher and fishmonger counters, Click & Collect and Morrisons Now. No Changing Places toilet, no park-wide toilets and no Shopmobility scheme are published. On a single-level terrace with a shared surface car park the ground conditions are likely to be straightforward, but we would rather say nobody has written any of it down than imply it has been assessed.

The shops

Nobody publishes a store count for this park and nobody publishes a unit schedule. ukmalls.co.uk says eight stores, Completely Retail names six occupiers, Fraser Bond names nine, and different listings give the same shop different unit numbers — Poundland appears as unit 8 on one and unit 4 on another. What follows is the list the two letting agents put in writing, checked against the tenants' own store pages where those exist. It is the best available and it is not a directory.

The anchor

Morrisons, at 280 Coventry Road, with its own petrol station, a café, a pharmacy and bakery, butcher and fishmonger counters. It is the reason the park works and the only occupier here that publishes anything about the site beyond its own four walls. The petrol station is operated by Motor Fuel Group, which also runs the car wash.

The terrace

Named by the agents as trading here: B&M, Boots, Iceland, JD Sports, Poundland, Greggs, Starbucks and Outfit. Two we could confirm from their own store pages — Greggs in unit 3A and JD Sports in unit 7. It is a value-and-convenience line-up with a sports anchor and two food-to-go names, which is what you would expect of a scheme on a main radial road through a dense inner suburb. There is no fashion beyond Outfit, no electricals, no homeware beyond what B&M carries and no leisure of any kind.

What is available

One unit, 3B — next door to the Greggs — is being marketed. The two agents give it two different sizes on the same day, 2,120 sq ft per Completely Retail and 2,032 sq ft of ground floor per Fraser Bond, and the same quoting rent of £62,500 a year exclusive of rates, service charge and VAT, on a lease to October 2033 with a break in year five.

What has gone, and the striking thing about the record

Toys R Us traded here, at Unit 1, 270 Coventry Road. Stock photography captioned "Toys 'R' Us at St Andrews Retail Park, Birmingham, West Midlands" exists, and the store's address survives on a scatter of directory listings that were never taken down. The chain's UK business collapsed and its stores closed during 2018, but no source we could find dates the closure of this branch, and we are not going to hand it the chain-wide date as though somebody had reported it.

Beyond that, not one dated arrival or departure could be sourced for this park, ever. We went looking for the ordinary trade-press record most retail parks generate steadily and there is nothing. That tells you something real: this is an investment asset let to national covenants and quietly held, not a destination anyone promotes. It also means that if a shop on this list has gone since the agents last refreshed their pages, nobody would have said so.

Useful to know

Quieter hours

Morrisons runs its own quieter hours — weekdays 2pm to 3pm and Saturday 9am to 10am — a published, first-party commitment and rarer than it should be.

How to search for it, and the place it is not

Searching "St Andrew's Birmingham" gets you the football ground every time, because the park is named after the ground. Search "St Andrews Retail Park Coventry Road", or just B10 0XA. Note too the completely separate St Andrew's Retail Park in Hull, on Hessle Road, developed by Dransfield Properties — nothing to do with this one.

If you need to reach somebody

There is no scheme office and no scheme number — the caveat box below is the full list of what nobody here publishes. JD Sports is on 0121 270 3352 and the Morrisons pharmacy on 0121 773 2526. For the units themselves — a vacancy, a lease, a complaint about the estate — the letting agent is Morgan Williams on 020 7493 4455.

How it got here

There is no published opening date, and that is not for want of looking

We could not find an opening year for St Andrew's Shopping Park from any source: not the agents, the council, the trade press, any archive we could reach, or the district's own local historian. No developer is named anywhere either. An expired LoopNet listing carries 2010 in a year-built field, but Toys R Us traded here and that chain's British estate was built out long before 2010, so the field is either wrong or describing a refurbishment. We are not printing an opening year.

The council's own plan does not mention it

Birmingham City Council's Bordesley Park Area Action Plan 2020 is the adopted planning framework for exactly the ground this park stands on. We read it looking for the scheme. It does not mention St Andrew's Retail Park or St Andrew's Shopping Park once. It discusses the football stadium repeatedly — as a "major visitor attraction", as a congestion problem on match days, as somewhere with "scope for enhancement" — and it identifies the Coventry Road as a large local centre and one of five key opportunities for change. The retail park is simply absent from the city's plan for the land it occupies.

William Dargue's gazetteer of Birmingham places, a careful local-history source rather than a general encyclopaedia, does not mention it either. What it does record is that "St Andrews Football Ground on Cattell Road was built on the site of a former claypit", Small Heath having been dug for brick clay through the nineteenth century. That is the ground next door, not the shops, but it is the only account of this patch of land anybody has bothered to write.

Ownership

Legal & General Investment Management owns it, on the strength of two agent sources rather than a filing. Fraser Bond says so in terms on its scheme listing; Completely Retail says so structurally, the scheme having a page inside Completely Retail's Legal & General landlord portfolio, and those sections are organised by landlord. Two independent-looking sources that may still trace back to one instruction from one client.

Everything else about it has never been published. No acquisition date. No price. No vendor. No holding vehicle. No sale of this park has ever been reported in the trade press that we could find. For an asset of roughly 160,000 sq ft in Britain's second city that is genuinely unusual, and it fits the rest of the record: a well-let, unglamorous, quietly held box scheme that has never needed to say anything about itself. The letting agent is Morgan Williams of 21 Hanover Square, London; Fraser Bond is separately marketing the one vacant unit, and neither firm states its relationship to the other.

One caveat on all of this. The Birmingham Mail is a Reach title and is closed to us, along with the rest of the Reach stable, and whatever local record exists of this park opening, changing hands or losing Toys R Us is most likely in the Mail. We would rather name that hole than pretend an absence of history is the same as an absence of events.

Elsewhere in Birmingham

The city's other destinations are a very different proposition: the Bullring in the centre, Star City at Nechells for leisure, The Fort Shopping Park at Erdington on the M6 side, and One Stop Shopping Centre and Retail Park at Perry Barr. All four are north or central; St Andrew's is the eastern option and the smallest of them.
