Moving to or from Knowle? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the High Street Distracts You With Yet Another Deli)

Welcome to Knowle — Solihull’s upmarket village with a High Street that feels more like a lifestyle magazine spread. With around 11,000 residents, boutique shops, historic timber‑framed buildings, and easy access to the M42, Knowle is the kind of place where you can buy artisan bread, walk the canal, and still be in Birmingham in under half an hour.

Schools That Actually Impress

Arden Academy is the local heavyweight, consistently rated highly and drawing families from miles around. Translation: your kids will get a solid education and you’ll get used to hearing about Duke of Edinburgh hikes before they’ve even mastered algebra.

Economy With a Village Flair

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

Things to Do (Besides Debating Which Coffee Shop Is Best)

• Knowle High Street – boutique shopping, artisan food, and enough cafés to fuel a week of brunches.

• Grand Union Canal – perfect for Sunday strolls, dog walks, and pretending you’re outdoorsy.

• Local favourites – The Red Lion for a pint, Knowle Park for fresh air, and nearby Solihull for bigger retail therapy.
