Living in Bristol

Bristol is the South West's creative capital—a city that punches above its weight in culture, food, and quality of life. Street art and independent shops define its character. London workers discovered it during the pandemic and haven't left. Property prices have risen accordingly, but still offer value compared to the capital. Clifton's Georgian elegance and Redland's Victorian villas draw families; Bedminster and Totterdown attract the adventurous.
