Southville and neighbouring Bedminster have transformed into one of Bristol's most creative quarters — North Street's independents, the Tobacco Factory theatre and market, and Europe's largest street-art festival, Upfest.
Colourful Victorian and Edwardian terraces dominate, drawing young families, creatives and professionals who want character, community and quick access to the harbourside.
Why live in Southville?
Arty, energetic and community-led — Bristol's coolest up-and-comer.
Getting around
A short walk or cycle over the river to the centre and harbourside; excellent bus links and the A370 west.
