London up to Birmingham-which town to overnight in?
 

Anyone have a suggestion to a cute town to stay at this weekend between Heathrow airport and Birmingham? I travel to England alot for work but have only been to this area on a vacation 40 years ago-Warwick,Stratford,Oxford,etc.Any cute towns that would be fun and interesting for my son and I to check out this weekend on our way up to Birmingham? Thanks-

By car? Train? Have you considered exploring Birmingham itself?

Lots and LOTS of options. But yes, we'd need to know if you are driving or taking public transport.

We are driving and going up to the Brum to find housing for my son as his new job is up there for the next three years.Thanks!

OK -car, check. So in no particular order, here are some interesting/attractive towns/villages:

Woodstock, Chipping Campden, Burford. All are w/i a reasonable drive from LHR and to B'ham. Depending on what you want - Burford might be good. A very nice town - not too big but several pubs, restaurants, shops, a terrific 'wool' church, river/swans/Cotswold charm. And convenient to lots of places.

Second the suggestion of Burford!
