Southville

About

Southville forms a compact residential district directly south of Bristol's floating harbour. The area is primarily made up of terraced housing from the Victorian and Edwardian periods, with local shopping streets like North Street serving the community. Its proximity to the water is a defining characteristic, with several pedestrian bridges connecting it to the city centre. This creates a mix of quiet neighbourhood streets and more active routes leading to the harbourside.

The area is known for its independent businesses, including cafes, pubs, and small shops that line the main thoroughfares. A large portion of its western edge is occupied by the sprawling Ashton Court Estate, providing extensive green space. Southville's community focus is evident in local events and the presence of the Tobacco Factory, a converted industrial building that now houses a theatre, market, and bar.
