Known for

Banksy, Clifton Suspension Bridge, the SS Great Britain, Stokes Croft, independent culture and a food scene built on creativity, sustainability and genuine community

A little history

A medieval port that grew rich on the triangular trade — and the slave trade, a history Bristol has confronted more directly than most English cities. Home to Brunel's two greatest works, Banksy's street art and a long tradition of radical independence.

📍 Local tip

Stokes Croft is the heart of independent Bristol — art, food, protest and community on one long street. Bedminster on a Tuesday for the market. The Tobacco Factory for Sunday brunch.
