Henley Green & Wood End

Henley Green and Wood End lie in the east of Coventry, a few miles from the city centre. The area was laid out largely as post-war council housing, with a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes around a network of minor roads. Local shops and small commercial parades serve daily needs, and pockets of public green space and allotments are woven through the streets. Housing blocks and low-rise estates sit alongside stretches of managed grass used for informal play and community events.

Community facilities include primary schools, a community centre and health services that cater to nearby residents. A residents’ association and volunteer groups organise small-scale projects and seasonal activities that use the estate greens and halls. Public transport links connect the area with Coventry’s central bus network, and walking routes lead to neighbouring districts. Everyday life in Henley Green and Wood End is shaped by those local services, the allotments and the small greens that provide gathering points across the estates.
