About

Totterdown is a residential neighbourhood situated on a steep south-facing slope overlooking Bristol's city centre. The area is characterised by its tightly packed terraced housing, many painted in bright colours that create a distinctive visual impact when viewed from below. Local shops and independent businesses cluster along Wells Road, which serves as the main thoroughfare through the area. The community is well-connected by several bus routes into the city.

The steep incline of the streets, such as South Street and Oxford Street, defines the area's topography and offers dramatic views across the rooftops to the distant Clifton Suspension Bridge. A notable local event is the annual Totterdown Arts Trail, where residents open their homes as temporary art galleries. Victoria Park provides green space on the plateau above, featuring tennis courts, a bowling green, and a children's playground.
