Coventry is continuously reinventing itself but has managed to keep the heart of its history alive in this peaceful city. The amount that Coventry has grown of the years is outstanding. There are new students every year coming from different parts of the world, it’s no wonder Coventry folk love to embrace this and show appreciation and support.

Brand new buildings and student accommodation are only some of the ways Coventry likes to show modernisation of the city. In the town centre you will find a huge selection of retail shops, eateries from a wide range of cuisines including Chinese, Indian, Lebanese and more alongside pubs and bars where you can pop in for a snack or two. So much has gown and started here and ideas will continue to flourish.
