Bristol

Bristol in my mind is like a smaller version of London. I think it has quite a bit of diversity and culture to it. Bristol is very well regarded for its night-life and music scene. Bristol is also well known for its independent spirit. There are various festivals that go on throughout the year like our one and only St Pauls Carnival which celebrates Caribbean culture and we have had many, now famous, residents of Bristol. For example, George Ezra, Banksy, Carol Vordeman and even JK Rowling. Some of the downsides to bristol have to be bad traffic and parking. The buses are also a big problem in bristol. There is only one bus company so if they want to take their time reaching you there isn't a whole lot you can do about it. Maybe if a rival bus company were to come about they would smarten up their act. This of course would be up to the mayor who i have had the fortune of meeting, where I soon learned that he loved the sound of his own voice and also his red trousers and so I doubt the buses will improve any time soon. On the upside bristol has large areas of green spaces which are regularly used to host various events and festivals. Overall I think bristol is a great city, whether that be to live in or just to pop in for a good cup of tea and a bickie.
