Life in Coventry

Coventry is fast emerging with a fresh face. Alongside Basil Spence’s extraordinary modern cathedral, rebuild after the city was bombed in World War II, new buildings and developments continue to emerge. The city is proud to house one of the UK's finest medieval guildhalls, almshouses and monastic foundations as well as the world-class Coventry Transport Museum. And with its own airport – getting around Europe is easy from this central city.
In 2005, the Ricoh Arena at the north of the city opened serving as the home of Coventry City Football Club and also as one of the West Midlands’ primary venues for sport and music events and conferences, playing host this year to top bands like Oasis and Take That.
