Coventry is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England.
Historically part of Warwickshire, Coventry is the 9th largest city in England and the 12th largest in the United Kingdom. It is the second largest city in the West Midlands region, after Birmingham.
Coventry is 19 miles (31 km) east-southeast of Birmingham, 24 miles (39 km) southwest of Leicester, 11 miles (18 km) north of Warwick and 94 miles (151 km) northwest of London. Coventry is also the most central city in England, being only 11 miles (18 km) south-southwest of the country's geographical centre in Leicestershire.
The current Coventry Cathedral was built after the majority of the 14th century cathedral church of Saint Michael was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in the Coventry Blitz of 14 November 1940. Coventry motor companies have contributed significantly to the British motor industry. The city has two universities, Coventry University in the city centre and the University of Warwick on the southern outskirts.
On 7 December 2017, the city won the title of UK City of Culture 2021, after beating Paisley, Stoke-on-Trent, Swansea and Sunderland to the title. They will be the third title holder, of the quadrennial award which began in 2013.
Ко́вентри (англ. Coventry) — город на востоке английского графства Уэст-Мидлендс, образует особый район со статусом сити Сити-оф-Ковентри.
Известен своей фабричной промышленностью, особенно шляпными фабриками; также имеются фабрики часов, велосипедов, швейных машин, ковров, лент, кружев и т. д. В Ковентри находится штаб-квартира компании Jaguar Land Rover Ltd., представляющей автомобильные марки «Ягуар» и «Лэндровер».
Ковентри прежде был окружён высокими стенами с двенадцатью воротами; отличался своими торжественными процессиями. Упомянут в поэме Теннисона «Леди Годива», в честь которой и сейчас 3 раза в год устраиваются празднества. В городе находится собор св. Михаила в лёгком готическом стиле, разрушенный во время Второй мировой войны и отстроенный заново, а также собор св. Марии времён Генриха VI.
Ковентри 9-й по числу жителей город в Англии и 11-й в Великобритании. Он также 2-й по числу жителей после Бирмингема в графстве, хотя Ноттингем и Лестер больше по площади.
Город находится в 153 километрах (95 миль) на северо-запад от Лондона и в 30 километрах (19 миль) на восток от Бирмингема, из всех городов он находится дальше всех от побережья. Хотя Ковентри и является городом с довольно большим населением, он не входит в список главных городов Великобритании, так как расположен в непосредственной близости от Бирмингема.
Ковентри — родной город поэта Филипа Ларкина и актёра Клайва Оуэна, барабанщицы американской христианской рок-группы Skillet Джен Леджер, а также Софи Эллис-Бекстор — английской певицы, композитора, сольной исполнительницы.

Rooms for rent:
I am looking for 2 practising Muslim student brothers to share a 3-bedroom house with. The house is located off London Road about 15 minutes walk from Coventry University.
The Asda Abbey Park Superstore is a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction.
It is an extremely convenient location in a very quiet neighbourhood:
I have been staying for about 6 months now and can vouch for the honesty of the owner. I have had absolutely no issues with the gentleman.

Busy Afternoon at Coventry, BL | 31/07/18
This video is a property of Richard Chalklin
2160p 4K UHD!
A busy and sunny visit to Coventry situated on the Birmingham Loop on a sunny afternoon of Tuesday 31st July 2018. No skippers in this video except a freight and a out of service pendolino.
Coventry info:
Coventry railway station is the main railway station serving the city of Coventry, West Midlands, England. It is situated about 250 yards to the south of junction 6 of the inner ring road. The station is on the Birmingham loop of the West Coast Main Line (WCML), and is at the centre of a junction where the lines to Nuneaton, and to Leamington converge.
Coventry station has regular services between London Euston and Birmingham New Street on the WCML. Other services are extended to/from Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Preston, Glasgow and Edinburgh Waverley. There are also long distance CrossCountry services to Manchester to the north, and Oxford and Bournemouth to the south. Local services also operate between Coventry-Nuneaton, Northampton and Leamington Spa.
The station has the PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving.
History:
The original station was built in 1838 as part of the London and Birmingham Railway and could be entered from Warwick Road, where two flights of stairs took the passengers down to the platform. Within two years it had been replaced, with a new larger station, a few hundred feet nearer to Rugby, this time, accessed via Eaton Road. In the late 19th century the Coventry tram network extended to the station at Eaton Road. The original station remained in service as the station masters offices, until the station was redeveloped in the early 1960s by the London Midland Region of British Railways.
The new 1840 station saw a significant number of modifications and extensions over the years, there was an engine shed, water column and turntable, in its later days an inclined walkway from the platform directly to Warwick Road for summer excursions, and a parcel depot formed from old carriages. However, the station was constrained by bridges at either end of the station, Stoney Road Bridge to the south, and Warwick Road bridge to the north. The bridges effectively restricted the station to two lines, and prevented the platforms from being extended.
In the early 1960s both bridges were widened, and the old station finally demolished and re-built, this time with room for four platforms instead of two. At the time it was demolished in 1960, some parts of the old station were 120 years old. The station comprises a two-storey height booking hall with reinforced concrete frame, linked across an adjoining platform by a bridge to an island platform and a single sided platform. It was built to the designs of W R Headley, Regional Architect of the London Midland Region of British Railways and Derrick Shorten, the project architect. It was formally reopened on 1 May 1962. In 1995 it became a Grade II listed building.
The new station featured a new parcel depot, used to manage the large number of mail order catalogue packages coming into Coventry at the time. The depot was serviced by its own platforms from the Rugby end. The depot has now been replaced by a multi-storey car park, although some of the platforms and an electrification gantry remain.
A £91 million redevelopment of the station is proposed to commence in 2019.
Motive Power Depot:
The London and Birmingham Railway opened a small motive power depot at the west end of the station in 1838. This was replaced by a larger depot in the fork between the Leamington and Rugby lines, in 1866. This was enlarged in 1897 and rebuilt in 1957 but closed 17 November 1958 and was demolished. Locomotives were then serviced at the former Great Western Railway depot at Leamington Spa.
Services:
The station is served by CrossCountry, West Midlands Trains and Virgin Trains. In the past, it has also been served by Silverlink, but these routes were transferred to Central Trains in 2004. Central Trains and Virgin CrossCountry services were respectively transferred to London Midland and CrossCountry in 2007.
Until 2004, Coventry had a direct service to Nottingham via Leicester, but this was discontinued because Network Rail took away the ability for trains coming from Coventry to cross to the Leicester line at Nuneaton.
The current day time service:
6 trains per hour to London Euston – three express and three semi-fast via Northampton
7 trains per hour to Birmingham New Street
1 CrossCountry train per hour to Manchester Piccadilly via Birmingham New Street
1 train per hour to Glasgow Central or Edinburgh Waverley via Preston & Carlisle

2 trains per hour to Leamington Spa, one calling at Kenilworth and terminating at Leamington Spa; the other continuing to Reading and the south, usually Bournemouth (CrossCountry)
