Winson Green is a loosely defined inner-city area in the west of the city of Birmingham, England. It is part of the ward of Soho.[1]

It is the location of HM Prison Birmingham[2] (known locally as Winson Green Prison or "the Green") and of City Hospital[3] (formerly Dudley Road Hospital)[4] as well as of the former All Saints' Hospital.[5]

The area has a diverse multi-racial population, including large Afro-Caribbean and Asian communities.[6] There is a nearby large Tesco supermarket and attached Victorian library, Spring Hill Library.
