Coundon is a predominantly residential suburb in north-west Coventry, in the county of the West Midlands, England.

During the Coventry Blitz in World War Two the larger factory was severely damaged by the German Luftwaffe's bombing[6] and car production was then suspended until 1946.

[10] The Rialto picture house was opened on Moseley Avenue in 1928, showing silent films with accompaniment by a pianist and small orchestra of two violins, two double bass, trumpet, trombone and drums on one level of the building, and with a ballroom on another level of the building.

[13] The Nugget Pub was built in 1938 in anticipation of housing development on Coundon Wedge, which never happened.

[14] From 1951 to 2005, Coundon was the location of the Browns Lane Jaguar car factory, which for its first 47 years was the carmaker's only plant.

The Browns Lane plant was largely demolished in 2008, although part of the site remains under Jaguar ownership, some is now used by a vehicle interiors manufacturer, and the American company Amazon has set up a distribution warehouse on the site.

In general elections Coundon falls within the constituency of Coventry North West, which returns one Member of Parliament; currently Taiwo Owatemi of the Labour Party.
