Moving to or from Meriden? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the Motorbike Convoys Take Over the Green)
Welcome to Meriden — the historic Warwickshire village proudly known as the traditional centre of England. With around 2,500 residents, a village green that doubles as a biker’s pilgrimage site, and countryside stretching in every direction, Meriden blends heritage, charm, and commuter convenience thanks to its spot between Coventry, Birmingham, and Solihull.
Schools That Actually Impress
Meriden Church of England Primary is well‑regarded locally, while nearby Solihull and Coventry offer strong secondary options. Translation: your kids will get a solid education and you’ll get used to hearing about school trips to Warwick Castle before they’ve even tackled Henry V.
Economy With a Rural Heart
Meriden thrives on local shops, pubs, and services, with many residents commuting to Birmingham, Coventry, or Solihull. Tourism plays its part too — the village green and biker memorial attract visitors, while the surrounding countryside keeps walkers and cyclists coming back.
Things to Do (Besides Arguing About the Exact Centre of England)
Meriden Village Green – home to the iconic memorial to fallen motorcyclists.
Countryside walks – rolling fields, bridleways, and the kind of scenery that makes you want new boots.
Local favourites – The Bulls Head for a pint, Packington Estate for farm‑shop treats, and nearby Coventry for bigger retail therapy.
Moving Services That Keep It Simple

Full packing services
Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than the A45 at rush hour)
