Stokes Croft has so far managed to avoid the mass commercialism and banality epitomised by the Broadmead shopping centre just down the road in the town centre, and is fighting hard to preserve its independent and community feel. We are surrounded by other independent businesses of all varieties and work with them to try to preserve the unique character of this area. There is so much exciting stuff happening in Stokes Croft right now, and loads of really inspiring street art. You can see some of it right from our front window.
