Moving to bristol
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
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
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
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
Moving to Bristol
£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

Americans in Bristol - Interested in a joint Thanksgiving this year?
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

No takers at all? I'm up for it, Tim. Any rough mid-September date? It's getting pretty close to mid-September already. :D Read More
Independence Day at the American Museum in Britain (Bath)
We didn't actually make it either, Tim. Mostly because it looked like rain and it didn't seem worth the trip over as it was all outside. Not sure when anything else of that nature will be going on in Bristol or the surrounding area. Thanksgiving ... Read More
American (Ohio) in Bristol by Waitsjunkie
Hello there! I'm Liam. I've just moved to Bristol (well, last October) from London and I was wondering if there were any events for the American community here at all. I never got involved in anything like that in London where I lived for 6 1/2 ...
Hi, Tim. I'm not on here all that often either as traffic seems a little slow. I'm from down at the other end of Ohio in the middle of nowhere. Closer to Huntington, WV, than anywhere else. I'm actually doing lower level administration for a small ... Read More

Hiya, I'm over in Bristol, too. I'm guessing you've found a few people by now though. Bath, from what I hear, has quite a few Americans. Plus there's the American Museum in Bath which seems like a pretty surefire way to meet people. My wife ... Read More
New Yorker in Bristol
