Student Accommodation in Cannon Park

Student housing in Cannon Park

Cannon Park sits right on the edge of the University of Warwick, close enough that a 9am seminar doesn't need an early alarm. Look for student housing in Cannon Park and you're picking one of the shortest commutes to campus in Coventry, without losing a proper high street on your doorstep.

The area itself was built up as a family suburb through the 1970s and 80s, and that still shows in the quiet, tree-lined streets and semi-detached houses now shared between students and long-term residents. Don't expect a nightlife strip. This is somewhere to come home to after a lecture, get the food shop done, and turn in early before a 9am lab.

What's around Cannon Park

Cannon Park Shopping Centre is the local hub, a five-minute walk from most of the surrounding streets. It's had a Tesco and an Iceland since the centre opened in 1977, plus a Post Office and a run of cafés and takeaways for the nights nobody's cooking. It won't rival the city centre for choice, but it covers the everyday shop without a bus into town.

For an evening out, Warwick Arts Centre is a short walk onto campus. It's the largest arts venue in the Midlands and the largest of its kind in the UK outside London's Barbican, with theatre, live music, comedy, and three cinema screens under one roof. Term-time student tickets are usually cheap, and it's one of the few venues in Coventry you can walk home from.

Getting around

Cannon Park backs onto Kenilworth Road and sits just off the Kenpas Highway (A45), so buses and cars into Coventry city centre, or out towards Kenilworth and Leamington Spa, are straightforward. Canley railway station borders the area on foot, with West Midlands Trains running roughly two services an hour to Birmingham New Street and to London Euston via Northampton (dropping to hourly on Sundays). For longer trips, the Megabus stop by the shopping centre runs coaches to London, Manchester, Leeds, and Portsmouth.

Universities near Cannon Park

This part is simple. Cannon Park borders Gibbet Hill, home to Warwick's Life Sciences campus, and the rest of the University of Warwick's 710-acre site sits right next door. Campus is a walk rather than a bus ride from most streets here, which is the whole appeal of student housing in Cannon Park over anywhere further into the city.
