About

Temple Meads sits around Bristol Temple Meads railway station on the edge of the Floating Harbour, where the River Avon runs through the city. The station dates from 1840 and includes the Brunel-designed entrance and trainshed that remain part of the site. Services run from the platforms to London, Cardiff and Bath, and the station acts as a transport node for local and regional rail. Paths and roads from Temple Meads lead directly into the harbourside and into the city's grid, keeping the rail buildings and waterways close together.

The area has moved from rail yards to new uses in recent years. Old railway land and warehouses have been redeveloped into offices, workshops and housing as part of Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone projects. The Engine Shed innovation hub sits next to the station in a restored railway building and hosts business support for local start-ups. Short walks from the station pass preserved brick railway structures, modern offices and the waterside, showing how transport infrastructure and new development meet in Temple Meads.
