Stokes Croft

Between Gloucester Road and the city centre is the iconic Stokes Croft. A countercultural hub full of character, it's brimming with unique businesses and community initiatives like the People's Republic of Stokes Croft.

This lively area of Bristol is colourfully decorated with ever-changing street art. And it's not uncommon to find pop-up exhibitions going on.

No. 80 Stokes Croft is the site of Banksy's famous 'Mild Mild West', a satirical mural from 1999.

All this public art blends seamlessly into Stokes Croft, a neighbourhood defined by independent spirit.
