Welcome to Dickens Heath — Solihull’s modern village, where canalside apartments meet leafy lanes and the M42 keeps Birmingham and Stratford firmly connected. With around 4,000 residents who know the shortcut past the village square better than any sat‑nav, Dickens Heath blends contemporary living with suburban calm.

Schools That Actually Impress

Dickens Heath Community Primary, Alderbrook School in Solihull, and Solihull School (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Dickens Heath’s local economy mixes cafés, salons, and small businesses with commuters heading into Birmingham, Solihull, and Stratford. Add in nearby retail parks and service hubs, and you’ve got a village that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the M42 Traffic)

• Dickens Heath Village Square – shops, restaurants, and community buzz.

• Stratford Canal – towpath walks and waterside views.

• Local favourites – cosy pubs for Sunday roasts, Solihull Touchwood for shopping, and nearby countryside for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Junction 4)
