Bristol By Numbers

Bristol’s pretty interesting when you think about it.

The 8th largest city in the UK & largest in the South West, Bristol is pretty spectacular. There’s lots that happens here but did you know these cold hard facts?

 

1. We’ve got the 5th oldest zoo in the world, despite the prevalence of selfie sticks.

2. Bristol is the first UK city with it’s own currency…. imagine that?

3. 25% of the world’s natural history programmes are made in Bristol. That’s a lot of David Attenborough to go around.

4. 429,000 people visit Bristol each year. That’s at least 100,000 people taking this picture:

5. There’s been over 1 million #Bristol posts on Instagram.

7.  There are over 17 thousand businesses in Bristol…. and ‘The Best’ is one of them.

8. There are more independent shops on Gloucester Road then any other UK Road. There’s also a lot of Bishopston Mums to.
