Moving to Coventry? Here’s Why It’s More Than Just Ring Road Drama

Welcome to Coventry — the city of Lady Godiva, two cathedrals, and a ring road that’s basically Mario Kart on steroids. With a population of around 345,000, Cov is a place where history meets hustle, and locals can say “alright mate” while overtaking you on the slip road.

Schools That Actually Impress

Coventry boasts strong education options, including King Henry VIII School, Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School, and Blue Coat School — all rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Translation: your kids will get a quality education and probably know more about medieval history than your tour guide.

Economy With Drive

Coventry is the birthplace of the British car industry and still revs hard today. Jaguar Land Rover, the University of Warwick, and a growing tech sector keep the city buzzing. Add in the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and more cranes than you can count, and Coventry’s economy is firmly in the fast lane.

Things to Do (Besides Surviving the Ring Road)

• Coventry Cathedral – old and new side by side, a symbol of resilience.

• Herbert Art Gallery & Museum – culture without the price tag.

• Local gems – The Old Windmill (Coventry’s oldest pub), War Memorial Park for fresh air and festivals, and FarGo Village for indie shops, street food, and craft beer.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t stop surveyors charging £1,500 to photograph a slightly crooked gutter, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (perfect if your chain moves slower than the Number 11 bus in rush hour)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Coventry is just the warm‑up act before Barcelona)
