A Day in the Life in Bristol: A City with Culture, Quirks and Character
Bristol reserves its true beauty for the locals, who call the city home day in, day out, rediscovering its magic anew every time they open their front door. The city’s character comes to life through proud Bristolian traditions, technicolour art that transforms the streets into an open-air gallery, and a deep-rooted commitment to supporting independent businesses across the city.
Take a walk through what a day in the life in Bristol could look like, when you choose a new home in The Clifton Collection.
Living in Bristol: What could it look like for you?
Waking up in your home at The Clifton Collection
Perhaps you’ve chosen one of the legacy apartments or a four-bedroom Mews house at The Clifton Collection. Whether you bought with space for your family in mind, or made the move solo or with a partner, the standard of luxury remains the same.
Step out of your spacious double bedroom and prepare for the day in the privacy of your en suite. A walk-in shower with room to stretch invites you in and there’s plenty of storage for the essentials that shape your morning and evening rituals. Once you’re dressed and ready, all that’s left to do is let in the morning light and enjoy a bite to eat in your open-plan kitchen and living space, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Walk your pooch in Clifton Down or Victoria Square
If you have a four-legged friend eagerly pawing at the door for their morning walk, The Clifton Collection is the perfect place to call home. Clifton Down offers expansive green space at the edge of the city, just four minutes from the development.
Victoria Square also sits nearby, only a 15-minute stroll away. If you didn’t have time to grab a coffee before heading out, Can’t Dance Coffee is on the corner of Clifton Road, opposite the park and serves one of the best flat whites in town.
A seamless commute into Bristol city centre
Drivers can reach Bristol city centre in just 15 minutes. Long-stay parking is available on Nelson Street, Apex Parking - Prince Street, and Cabot Circus Car Park - Newfoundland Way, among other convenient locations.
If you prefer public transport, the number 8 bus runs every 12 minutes from College Road, right by The Clifton Collection, and takes you directly into the city centre in under half an hour.
Hit the gym at Clifton Group Fitness Studio
After a long day at work, fitting in a workout should feel convenient and effortless. Clifton College Sports Centre is just a two-minute walk from the development and offers a wide range of group classes, from kettlebells to Pilates. You can also take advantage of the indoor swimming pool, with a varied timetable that includes adults-only sessions, open swims and children’s fun swims, making it an ideal option for family time.
H3: Grab a casual bite to eat around Clifton
If you don’t feel like cooking but need a hearty refuel after your workout, The Milk Bun is just a 15-minute walk away, serving stacked burgers to satisfy your daily protein quota. The atmosphere feels relaxed, and the menu is budget friendly, with mains starting from £9.95 and several vegan options available.
For something a little more formal, The Ivy Clifton Brasserie and Coppa Club Clifton are also close by.
Enjoy an evening of live performances near home
Redgrave Theatre is only a five-minute walk from The Clifton Collection, and hosts everything from family-friendly Disney sing-alongs to seasonal pantomime and new independent theatre.
You can also walk to Alma Tavern & Theatre in just 12 minutes. The tavern offers a smaller, more intimate atmosphere, with a multi-use arts space on the ground floor, regular live jazz and an upstairs theatre room for scratch nights and smaller productions. It’s hard to beat a play and a pint.
