Ber-ming-um. With the 'um' said fast.

Although I do have an odd accent... born in Essex and grew up in Norwich and Cornwall.

Burming(h)um.

Until recently, the typical R.P. pronunciation: Burr-ming-ham. However, an unfortunate slip of the tongue recently when I phoned their Admissions Dept has led to me calling it "Brumingham" without realising more often than not. So glad Literature applicants don't get interviewed =).
