OISE Bristol is conveniently located, equidistant on foot from Clifton, the waterfront and the main city centre shops. The school itself is a listed building of extremely stylish Georgian design whose high ceilings, sash windows and original staircase are a testament to the elegance of the period. At breaktime students can enjoy the comfort of the modern coffee bar or relax in the school's pretty walled garden.

Bristol is one of the most vibrant cities in Europe, located in the south west of England within easy reach of London, Bath and the beautiful 'English Riviera'. Wide tree-lined avenues, green sprawling parks and colour washed Georgian houses provide a contrast to the extensive millennium development which has rejuvenated Bristol's waterfront. Now boutiques, cafes, bars, shops and restaurants line the millennium bridge, and exotic plants and swans grace former spice factory sites. The former industrial waterfront has been transformed into a cosmopolitan cultural centre boasting fashionable warehouse flats, gourmet restaurants and the latest in public transport. Visitors can take the water taxi from Bristol Temple Meads station into the heart of the city, a journey which is an adventure in itself.

Bristol is a city nurturing new talent in the worlds of art, music and design and prides itself on its dynamic youth culture. Yet the city also boasts the relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere which has been the hallmark of Clifton, the old university quarter of the city. Here you will find wide open spaces and broad spacious streets to explore at your leisure.
