Built in 2020

The Toybox is a stylish Birmingham student accommodation located near Five Ways train station, with quick access to Aston University and Birmingham City University via public transport. Nearby is the Fiveways Entertainment Centre, a renowned entertainment venue for Birmingham's student population. The flat offers 290 rooms in both En-suite and Studio styles, with private bathrooms and amenities to help students settle into their new surroundings quickly. The flats have 24-hour security and a reception desk for students' safety.

 

Features

The Toybox offers 4 types of Studio and 6 types of En-suite rooms to suit the needs of students, with the En-suite offering separate bedrooms and bathrooms. In contrast, the shared kitchen and living room can be used as a space for roommates to socialise and learn from each other. At the same time, the Studio is more suited to those who prefer to be on their own, with a separate kitchen and living area and the freedom to enjoy a completely private living environment. In addition to the cosy rooms, the student accommodation has plenty of facilities in the communal areas. Quiet study rooms are perfect for students who prefer to revise alone, while those who like to exercise can burn off energy in the gym. And remember to check the website often for the cinema room schedule. If you find it too stuffy indoors, you can relax by walking in the courtyard.

 

Location and What's Hot? 

The Toybox is located southwest of Birmingham City Centre, close to the Fiveways Entertainment Centre and within a 10-minute walk of leading supermarkets such as Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's. There's Del Villaggio, Nando's and Five Guys to choose from when it comes to eating out.

 

Even if you're away from the city centre, there's plenty of entertainment around The Toybox Birmingham. Cineworld Cinema and Grand Escape are a 6-minute walk away, the famous LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and National SEA LIFE Centre are a 16-minute walk away, and for those who like nature, Five Ways Community Park, Sunset Park and Peacock Park are just a few minutes away.

 

Transport

The Toybox is just downstairs from the Five Ways Station bus stop, making it easy for students to get around the city quickly. Birmingham Metropolitan College Matthew Boulton Campus and Aston University are 14 minutes away by bus. University College Birmingham is 16 minutes by bus, and the University of Birmingham is 20 minutes; Newman University is further away and is 36 minutes by bus. If you travel to another city, Five Ways train station is a 5-minute away.

The Toybox FAQs

Can we make a group reservation?

Of course. For locations with cluster apartments, it is easy to arrange bookings with friends. Just let us know who you would like to live with, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Please note that this depends on room availability, and booking in advance will make it easier to arrange.

How can I find out who I will be living with?

For privacy reasons, we won’t disclose names, but you can find out who you will be living with, such as their gender, grade, and school information, by checking the resident group shared before your move-in or asking your apartment team.

When can I move in?

About two months before your move-in date, you will be invited to schedule your move-in time. You can choose the time that works best for you. If you have any special requirements regarding accessibility or transportation arrangements, please let us know at that time.
