Moving to or from Dorridge? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the M42 Reminds You Who’s Really in Charge)

Welcome to Dorridge — Solihull’s leafy commuter haven, where the train station is a lifeline to Birmingham and London, and the High Street feels more like a lifestyle brochure than a shopping strip. With around 7,000 residents, Dorridge blends village calm with big‑city convenience, all wrapped in a distinctly upmarket vibe (yes, the Range Rover count is higher than the lampposts).

Schools That Actually Impress

Dorridge Primary is well‑regarded, while nearby Arden Academy in Knowle is the local heavyweight. Translation: your kids will get a solid education and you’ll get used to overhearing playground debates about ski trips before they’ve even mastered algebra.

Economy With a Village Flair

Dorridge thrives on independents — cafés, delis, and boutiques that give the High Street its polish. Many residents commute to Birmingham, Coventry, or even London, but local businesses keep the village lively, and the M42 corridor adds a steady hum of trade.

Things to Do (Besides Polishing the Range Rover)

• Dorridge Park – green space for dog walks, jogs, and pretending you’re outdoorsy.

• High Street cafés – brunch spots and artisan coffee that make weekends disappear faster than your parking space.

• Local favourites – The Forest Hotel, or the Drum & Monkey for food and drink, canal walks for fresh air, and nearby Solihull for bigger retail therapy.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t stop the M42 from backing up at rush hour, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than the Range Rover queue outside the school gates)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Dorridge is just the start of the adventure before Dusseldorf)
