Staple Hill South & Kingswood North West

Staple Hill South & Kingswood North West sit inside South Gloucestershire, arranged around Staple Hill Broadway, the area’s main shopping parade. The Broadway contains independent shops, cafes and services that serve nearby streets of terraced and semi‑detached houses. Local provision includes primary schools, a library and community centres, with small green spaces and recreation grounds used by families and sports clubs. Street patterns reflect 19th‑ and early 20th‑century expansion that followed local industry and the arrival of rail links in the wider Kingswood area.

Kingswood North West carries traces of its coal‑mining past in place names and rows of workers’ housing, while later suburban development filled gaps between older streets. Travel is oriented along radial routes that lead toward town centres in the district, with frequent local bus connections. Day‑to‑day life here focuses on shops, schools and neighbourhood activity rather than tourist sites; one recognisable detail on the Broadway is a long continuous run of traditional shopfronts that marks the high street’s retail spine.
