THE LOCAL AREA

Living in Nuneaton

Nuneaton is a lively and vibrant town with plenty to see and do.

The town centre boasts extensive retail options, including Ropewalk Shopping Centre and Abbeygate Shopping Centre housing all the high street names, plenty of charity shops, and a Debenhams department store.
