The British TV soap opera "Crossroads" was set in the outskirts of which major British city?

"Crossroads" (later known as "Crossroads Motel" and "Crossroads King's Oak") is a British television soap opera that ran on ITV over two periods. The original was from 1964 to 1988, followed by a short revival from 2001 to 2003. Set in a fictional motel (hotel in the revival) in the Midlands on the outskirts of Birmingham. Crossroads became a byword for cheap production values, particularly in the 1970s and early 1980s. Despite this, the series regularly attracted huge audiences during this time, with ratings as high as 15 million viewers.

The fictional Crossroads Motel was in an equally fictional village near Birmingham, Kings Oak (there are real suburbs in south-west Birmingham called Kings Heath, Kings Norton and Selly Oak). A number of real-life hotels doubled for location filming; it is stated in the 1982 "Crossroads" Special that the Longshoot Motel (Nuneaton) was used as a 'blueprint' in designing the motel and it is likely that some scenes were filmed there during the run of the series.
