Living in Bristol, England

Hi, I am a Canadian who has lived in Bristol, England for two years now and I just want to say that I really love it. Bristol is a beautiful city with an extrodinary history and some of the best weather in England (though of course it is relative, we are in cloudy England after all:) I recommend thsi city to anyone considering moving here.

Re: Living in Bristol, England

What do you like to most in Bristol?

How are people there?

Is it difficult to find a job and an accomodation there?

Re: Living in Bristol, England

Bristol is a small city (greater area includes 300,000). It has a lot of history, charm and millions of nooks and crannies to explore. If you are interesting in finding out more about these aspects I recommend a book called The Naked Guide to Bristol which is fantastic.

It also seems to have some of the best weather in England, many festivals throughout the summer and a bustling waterfront. A decade ago Bristol was a different city and it seems to have undergone revitalization, Unfortunately, this also means a high cost of living.

In regards to finding work, I guess that depends on what you do but it is certainly a growing, devloping city.

Hope this helps, Sarda

Re: Living in Bristol, England

What you are saying is really interesting ! I'm a French assistant since October, and I plan on moving to Bristol to find a summer job there. Do you know if there are lots of them available. My big problem is I don't have any previous experience in the business of catering, tourism... So I don't really know if I could find a job for one or two months (as a bar person for example)

Re: Living in Bristol, England

Hiya!
I've been in Bristol since last August so nearly a year now. I absolutely love it! It's a vibrant city, very pretty with lots going on.
For the weather, I can't really tell, I used to live in Kent and it was quite sunny and hot (for England obviously), maybe less rainy than Bristol I'd say, not sure tho! tongue
Beside, it's near Wales (Cardiff is a must-do), Somerset/Devon/Cornwall countryside and seaside (a surfer's paradise), and Wiltshire (many sites and lovely villages).
Well, I'm just a fan of British countryside and life!
