People from Coventry: what’s something unique about the city that newcomers never expect?

I recently moved to Coventry and I’m still discovering the city bit by bit. Some things surprised me in good ways, others were… interesting.

What’s something unique about the city that newcomers never expect?

Could be anything — culture, neighbourhood vibes, food spots, transport quirks, local habits, hidden gems, things people love or hate.

I’m genuinely curious to hear what locals think makes Coventry… Coventry.

Thanks!
