Southville

Until redevelopment projects began in the 90s, the Southville area of Bristol was starting to look rundown and unloved. Since regeneration started however, previously abandoned buildings such as the old tobacco factory have been converted into an arts centre. Numerous vibrant bars, restaurants, and independent shops have made the area their home too. Benefiting from good transport links and thirty-minute commutes, this area is becoming increasingly popular among young professionals looking for a more suburban location, but one that still has plenty on offer.
