Moving to or from Stratfordโ€‘uponโ€‘Avon? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the Tourist Coaches Send You Round in Circles)

Welcome to Stratfordโ€‘uponโ€‘Avon โ€” Warwickshireโ€™s worldโ€‘famous market town, where halfโ€‘timbered buildings meet the River Avon and Shakespeareโ€™s legacy keeps the visitor numbers skyโ€‘high. With around 30,000 residents who know every back route to avoid the theatreโ€‘day traffic, Stratford blends historic charm with modern living.

Schools That Actually Impress

Stratford Girlsโ€™ Grammar School, King Edward VI School, and Stratford School all carry strong reputations, with excellent results and competitive admissions. Add in nearby independent options and strong primaries, and youโ€™ve got plenty of choice โ€” plus parents comparing grades over coffee on Sheep Street.

Economy With a Balance

Stratfordโ€™s economy is powered by tourism, hospitality, retail, and the Royal Shakespeare Company, alongside a strong base of local businesses and commuters heading to Warwick, Leamington, and Birmingham. With quick access to the M40, itโ€™s a town thatโ€™s cultured, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Quoting Shakespeare)

Royal Shakespeare Theatre โ€“ worldโ€‘class performances in a stunning riverside setting.
The Bancroft Gardens & River Avon โ€“ picnics, boat trips, and swanโ€‘spotting galore.
Local favourites โ€“ Anne Hathawayโ€™s Cottage, canal walks, and a pint in one of the many historic pubs.
