Bristol is the largest city in southwest England and the eighth largest in the UK, with a multi-ethnic population of about 470,000. The city has a lot to offer to expat professionals settling here with the aspiration of developing their careers while maintaining a healthy work–life balance. The industries that thrive in Bristol's labour market are the creative industry (Bristol is the home of Banksy street artists and activists), food & drink innovation, aerospace & advanced engineering, and tech. Among the city's many advantages is that it is pretty close — a 90-minute train ride — to London, as well as Cardiff in Wales. So, if you are looking for a more affordable and less crowded place than London to live and work, Bristol might be for you!
