Wyken

Ward in Coventry, England

Coordinates:52.411, -1.453
OS grid ref:SP 37 79
Dialling code: 024 (Coventry)

Wyken is an electoral ward to the east of Coventry in England, originally a separate village that was absorbed as the city expanded. It still retains a recognisable village core, a green and the historic parish building of All Saints' Church, which gives the area a visible link to its medieval past.

Today the ward is mostly residential, with a mix of Victorian, interwar and post‑war housing, local shops, schools and community groups; nearby industrial and retail zones provide much of the local employment. The area is well connected into Coventry, so it combines a quiet, community feel with easy access to city services and transport links.
