Where the Real Peaky Blinders Were: Birmingham History
Where were the real Peaky Blinders?
Small Heath. Digbeth. First mention: March 23, 1890. Rainbow Pub on Digbeth High Street and Adderley Street. George Eastwood attacked by 3 men. The Birmingham Mail called them “the gang of Peaky Blinders”. First time the name appeared in print. 136 years ago.
Why is Birmingham so important? Because the gang was real. Not London. Not Manchester. Birmingham. Steven Knight grew up hearing stories from his parents. Built the show around his own city. Then Digbeth Loc Studios was built to keep filming here. How accurate is the show? The gangs were real. The razor blade caps are debated. Billy Kimber was real. The Shelby family is fiction. Your driver separates fact from fiction at every stop.
Billy Kimber: The Real Gang Leader
Not Tommy Shelby. Billy Kimber. Real person. Led the Birmingham Boys. Took over around 1910. Controlled racecourses from Small Heath to Epsom. The show uses a fictional version. The real Kimber operated on these streets. Coventry Road. Your V-Class stops where Kimber stood.
Razor Blades: True or Myth?
Razor blades in peaked caps? Gillette razors arrived in America in 1903. The first UK factory was in 1908. The gang existed from 1890. Carl Chinn says “Peaky” meant peaked cap. “Blinder” meant well-dressed in Brummie slang. Your driver tells both versions at the Rainbow Pub corner. You decide.
What Brummies Actually Think
Before the show, tourists skipped Birmingham. Now 7 in 10 UK visitors seek filming locations (VisitBritain). Digbeth is thriving. Street art. Restaurants. Custard Factory. The show gave Digbeth a second life. The Brummie accent was mocked. Now it is iconic. 180 countries heard “By order of the Peaky Blinders”.
Peaky Blinders Filming Locations Birmingham V-Class Tour
Is Peaky Blinders shot in Birmingham?
SET in Birmingham. Digbeth and Small Heath are real locations. BCLM in Dudley filmed the Small Heath scenes. Watery Lane filmed in Liverpool because the real street was demolished. Digbeth Loc Studios made The Immortal Man. Your driver tells you what was filmed where.
Digbeth: The Real Heartland
Heath Mill Lane. Floodgate Street. Adderley Street. Real streets. Real gangs. 1890s. Rainbow Pub corner: where the name first appeared in print. March 1890. Victorian cobbles on Heath Mill Lane. Look up on Floodgate Street. Ground-floor modern. Second floor? Victorian brick. The 1890s is still there.
Digbeth Loc Studios: The Peaky Blinders Wall
Steven Knight’s production hub. Tommy, Ada, and Alfie painted 30 feet tall. The Immortal Man filmed inside. 25.3 million views in 3 days (Netflix). Premiered at Symphony Hall Birmingham. Not London. Birmingham. V-Class stops outside. Photos at every mural.
Small Heath Where Tommy Shelby Is From
Coventry Road. Green Lane, Garrison Lane, BSA factory. In the show, the Shelbys ran operations here. In real life, the actual gang operated from these streets. 3 miles from Digbeth. No walking tour reaches here. Cillian Murphy was taken to Garrison Lane before filming. To hear real Brummie voices.
Black Country Living Museum: Charlie’s Yard
10 miles west. The boat dock. The canal. Season 1 Episode 1: Tommy on horseback. Cillian Murphy: “It’s become one of the characters” (BBC Radio 6, 2026). Buildings are real. Smoke was CGI. Official filming tours launched May 2026. The V-Class provides transport BCLM can’t.
The Garrison Real Pub, Real Accent
Garrison Lane. Near St Andrew’s. The REAL Garrison pub. Sold at auction in 2014 for £183,000. Rumour: Steven Knight wants to buy it. Cillian Murphy was taken here to perfect his accent. The accent is still on these streets. Your driver? Born in Birmingham. He knows if Cillian got it right.
