" Southville is a vibrant area while still feeling friendly and peaceful. We’ve loved the independent cafés, bakeries, local shops and nearby green spaces, as well as being able to walk into the city centre in around 25 minutes. It’s also easy to get anywhere by bus (there’s even a direct one to the airport, which has been a lifesaver). It’s been a brilliant place to raise a family with excellent schools close by. It’s a neighbourhood that’s easy to settle into and hard to leave. "

Living in Southville
King William Street is a residential street in the heart of Southville. The house lies close to North Street, a hub for local independents, restaurants, and shops, including Michelin-recommended COR and OTHER, coffee shops Sweven and Burra, and The Tobacco Factory - a café, bar, and theatre that hosts a bustling Sunday market.
A short stroll across Gaol Ferry Bridge (5 minutes) will take you to Wapping Wharf - a foodie destination set on the edge of Bristol’s historic Harbourside. Serving from converted cargo containers, you’ll find top Bristol independents including Gambas, Cargo Cantina, and Lapin. The city centre is a further 15 minutes on foot.
Southville is also known for its excellent school catchment area, with North Street Nursery, Magic Roundabout Nursery, Southville Primary, and Ashton Gate Primary all within walking distance of the house. Several parks are within easy reach of Islington Road, with Greville Smyth Park a short walk away and the sprawling Ashton Court Estate a further 20 minutes beyond - an expansive 850 acres of woodland and grassland that is home to the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta.
