The School of Art & Design (M Block) is located on the corner of Cox Street and Gosford Street,
diagonally opposite the old Odeon cinema, and within 10 minutes walk of both Coventry British
Rail and Pool Meadow Bus Station. Maps of the city centre can be supplied upon request (please
specify fax number or postal address).
In order to keep costs down, lunch is not provided. However, there are several sandwich shops
and pubs providing hot food in the vicinity of the School. We recommend Browns (Gosford
Street), which has a very reasonably priced and generously portioned menu, including a wide
choice of vegetarian dishes.
