The district covers Coventry city centre, part of the city's suburban area to the south of the River Sherbourne, including areas such as Cheylesmore, Earlsdon, Stivichall and Whitley. The city centre and surrounding area is the home to Coventry University, Coventry Transport Museum, Coventry Cathedral, Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Lady Godiva statue and an array of city centre shops, restaurants and other attractions.

CV1 is served by two of Coventry's busiest railway stations, Coventry Station and Canley. It is also well connected by buses and roads, including ringed roads, A45 and A46.

The city centre is split into multiple neighbourhoods, each with its own unique characteristics. Drapers Field is located near Far Gosford Street and is known for its pubs and restaurants alongside parks and open spaces. Cheylesmore has a mixture of antique shops, pubs and supermarkets, and is known for its green spaces and 19th-century architecture. Earlsdon is the longest established neighbourhood, with large Georgian properties and Edwardian buildings, and it is now a home to businesses and residential properties. Whitley holds some of Coventry's most noteworthy industrial and engineering sites, such as Coventry Transport Museum and Triumph Motorcycles.

The properties within CV1 area mainly consist of terraced, semi-detached, and detached houses, as well as some apartments, a few of which have recently been built.

The area is home to a high proportion of students, a mix of professionals, families with children and a range of socio-economic backgrounds.

The CV1 postcode district has a rich history due to the various diverse cultures present in the city. People of all ethnic backgrounds have had an influence on the city which is reflected in its cultural mix and identity.

The area is served by various primary and secondary schools along with a range of amenities offering leisure activities for the community, such as sports centres, parks and recreation areas, Bell Green Pool, the Coventry Canal and local shops.
