About Bristol

From bars on boats to art galleries in former toilets, there is a thriving independent spirit in Bristol that has brought us Banksy, Wallace & Gromit, and even Ribena. During weekends and school holidays you can enjoy a cup of coffee in Hart’s Bakery and sample the fares of St Nicholas Markets. If you’d prefer your downtime to be more active, as the UK’s first cycling city, Bristol is full of keen cyclists (even if there is a hill round every corner).


Housing costs in Bristol can be relatively expensive, particularly in popular neighbourhoods, although there are also more affordable options available. Additionally, the city offers a wide range of amenities and cultural experiences, which may contribute to slightly higher living expenses compared to other parts of the UK.
