Nuneaton ( nə-NEE-tən) is a market town in the borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth in northern Warwickshire, England, located adjacent to the county border with Leicestershire to the north-east. Nuneaton's population at the 2021 census was 88,813, making it the largest town in Warwickshire. Nuneaton's larger urban area, which also includes the large adjoining villages of Bulkington and Hartshill had a population of 99,372 in the 2021 census.Originally a small riverside settlement known as Etone, Nuneaton gained its name from a medieval nunnery which was established in the 12th century, during which it also became a small market town. It later developed into an important industrial town due to ribbon weaving and coal mining. The author George Eliot was born on a farm on the Arbury Estate just outside Nuneaton in 1819 and lived in the town for much of her early life. Her novel Scenes of Clerical Life (1858) depicts Nuneaton. There is a hospital named after her, The George Eliot Hospital. There is also a statue of George Eliot in the town centre.

The 'Gold Belt' is a public sculpture located in a walkway underneath the Vicarage Road bridge, Nuneaton, England. The walkway links Riversley Park and the George Eliot Memorial Gardens.The 'Gold Belt' was produced as a result of a project between local artist Alisha Miller, Warwickshire County Council and Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council in 2003. The 'Gold Belt' represents a coal miner's leather belt. This reinforces a local connection through Nuneaton's mining heritage and also links to the Union Wool and Leather Factory that used to be located on the site of a supermarket close to Riversley Park.The work was inspired by the motto, "a good reputation is better than a belt of gold", of Edward Melly who donated the park to the people of Nuneaton in 1907.

The Abbeygate Shopping Centre (sometimes mistakenly referred to as 'Abbey Gate Shopping Precinct') is a shopping centre in the town centre of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. It was first opened in the 1960s and was originally known as Heron Way, and was once home to an indoor market. During a refurbishment in the 1990s a glass atrium roof was fitted and it was renamed Abbeygate. It now comprises 40 retail units. The centre has a retail mix of multi-nationals and small independents.The anchor stores were Argos and Peacocks. In 2020, Peacocks permanently closed down in the shopping centre, however it has since reopened once again in 2021 after a buyer was found. The reason for Argos' closure was due to Sainsbury's closing their standalone high-street stores as part of a "reorganisation". Argos still operate as a 'click and collect' branch inside the Vicarage Street Sainsbury's supermarket.In October 2010 the main post office for the town relocated from the outside of the centre to an internal shop.The centre is privately owned. In April 2018 it was sold to a mystery local property company for £4.3 million; considerably less than the £17 million the previous owners had paid for it in 2005.Since 14 January 2021, the former BrightHouse store, located inside of the Abbeygate Shopping Centre, is currently being used as a vaccination centre during the coronavirus pandemic.
