Moving to bristol by Miche961
Hi guys, we are planning to move to Bristol (family of four with 10year old twins) What would be the best area to live in ? We are definitely considering to have an au pair to help out, would our location help? Any prior experience with au pair ? We ...
Bristol is a really crazy housing market and much will depend on whether you're renting/buying, what kind of schools you're looking for... So many factors. One thing I will say is that if you see a place you like the look of don't even ... Read More
Considering moving to Bristol by JasonKara
Hello there, I'm currently living in Athens-Greece and i'm thinking bout moving to Bristol for a fresh start. I was born in Wales ( Mother is welsh ) so i've got the british passport and citizenship. I'm a freelance illustrator and ...
I'm going to second everything Aurelia just said. I've been here for nearly six years and it's an amazing city. I'd also add that Bristol's property market is particularly bad and getting worse in terms of how quickly it moves. ... Read More
Naturalisation and citizenship in England by Bhavna
Hello everyone, What are the requirements for acquiring citizenship in England? For example, length of residence, language requirements, employment etc.. What formalities are involved in the process? What is the policy on dual-citizenship ...
I was naturalised in late 2015 after living here for over 10 years. I'm a native of the US which, although I don't think they like it much, does allow for dual citizenship. The process itself involved a fair bit of paperwork and proof of ... Read More
Places to visit in Bristol by Julie
Hi, For the ones living in Bristol, what would you suggest to discover the region? When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Bristol, the tourist sites? How to visit the region ...
Depends on whether you just mean Bristol or the region. Trips down to the coast are nice - plenty of sea views just down the road from. Salisbury has Stonehenge, Cheddar Gorge is good, and Bath, of course. In Bristol there's the suspension bridge ... Read More
Moving to Bristol by balamuruganvel
Hi, I have got job in Bristol and will be moving to Bristol by Jan 2013. I am from India, single, willing to share room or flat. I would like to have some suggestions on cost of living (accommodation,transportation,food),where would be ideal for ...
Sorry for the delayed reply. I don't know that much about that area of Bristol, I'm afraid, as it's a fair distance out of the centre. I can suggest that you go to Find a Property and have a look around. Things to watch out for are whether council ... Read More

£2000 isn't bad at all to get by on in Bristol, Balamuruganvel. Rents really vary depending on where you want to live though. Where is your job? Is it in central Bristol? Read More

Hi All, OK, I am not American, but having lived there for a decade, Thanksgiving has been weaved into my life as a treasured holiday. Anyone, American or not, interested in a get-together or dinner next week (Thus or Fri?)? If we can find a place ...
Hello Evelyn! There's actually already an event being put together like this through the Americans in Bristol group on Facebook. If you'd be interested in joining us you and your sprouts would be most welcome. We're going to be holding the event in ... Read More

Americans in Bristol - Interested in a joint Thanksgiving this year? by emay02
Hello fellow Bristolians... I just moved to Bristol a couple of months ago. I've been in England for about 7 years now though and although my husband is British and loves celebrating Thanksgiving with me, I was really hoping to find some other ...
Same here, I wondered about Thanksgiving this year and I'm definitely up for it. Also looking into the Facebook thing, Tim! It's probably far more efficient for arranging things as the mods here didn't take me up on my thread merging suggestion. It ... Read More

I can think of quite a few places. If you're thinking Clifton (I live in Clifton Village), the Portcullis is pretty nice. Just near the White Lion. The Clifton Wine Bar is pretty good, too, and I read a great review of The Mall a couple weeks ago. I ... Read More

Hey, we're already trying to sort something like this out in the "Americans in Bath?" thread. It's about sorting something in Bristol. I'd kinda prefer to avoid the White Lion though. It's overpriced and has a terrible selection in drinks. Read More
