Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Convenient to access the university. Great for bus connections but not train. Bristol Road can be very loud at times but manageable.

Good place to stay, safer comparitively

ASDA close and streets can be loud but nothing crazy. Friendly neighbours opposite us.

This area is not for young people who are looking for a vibey area. More suitable for people who consider the transport link into London important, but it's a 15 min walk to a station.

Good location for services and the city

Peaceful, had some shops, generally okay.

Convenient for access to shops etc. Lack of parking

Lots of bin strikes, quite unsafe

Meh I like the area, good transport links to the centre

The part of Twerton we were in was fine, we were close to both a U5 bus stop to go onto university, and a 5 bus stop into town. Along Twerton High Street are two general stores, which was useful.
However, the way to the house is under a bridge and up a road that is not entirely well-lit, and on a few occasions there have been loud altercations along High Street, which, as young women often made us feel slightly worried for our safety. We were never approached and we always made sure there was a good distance between us and the arguments, but we always made sure to get back inside the house quickly.
