Location
Meriden is commonly known as the Centre of England and has a village green with local shops, a play area and a well regarded primary school. The village is surrounded by open greenbelt countryside and stands midway between the Birmingham and Coventry conurbations, well placed for the M42, M6 and Midlands infrastructure with easy access to the NEC, International Airport and Birmingham International railway station which links Birmingham New Street with London Euston. Balsall Common, Berkswell and Hampton in Arden are all neighbouring villages with Solihull and Kenilworth providing further and more comprehensive amenities.
