Coventry remains the post town for the CV7 district, even though large villages such as Balsall Common and Meriden lie within the Solihull Metropolitan district and are several miles west of the city, very close to the Birmingham postcode area.
The CV postcode area is relatively extensive (especially north to south) and borders the postcode areas of Birmingham (B) to the west/northwest/southwest, Leicester (LE) to the northeast, Derby (DE) to the north, Northampton (NN) to the southeast, Gloucester (GL) and Worcester (WR) to the southwest, and Oxford (OX) to the south.
