Gloucester Road Shopping

About

Gloucester Road is located in North Bristol and runs through St Andrews, Bishopston and Horfield. It has a large number of independent traders as well as household names. There is also a great choice of cafés, bars and restaurants for when a rest is needed. A real quirky and bohemian addition to Bristol’s shopping areas.

In fact the whole area resembles an outdoor gallery with colourful graffiti that continually transforms its walls and buildings. You might see some great artwork today – but by the time you want to show it to your friends tomorrow it has miraculously vanished or changed into a completely new picture. Keep your eyes open for some of Banksy’s best known pieces, your ears open for live music streaming onto the streets, and your taste buds prepared for some exciting culinary experiences.

And as for the shopping, you might find yourself heading home with a saxophone, on the back of a new bike, some art work under your arm while munching an organically grown apple from the local green grocer whizzing home to read some of those books you bought.
