BS6 covers Cotham, Redland and Westbury Park, Bristol's affluent inner north-west with substantial Victorian villa stock and Bristol University catchment.
Area summary
BS6 sits in Bristol City Council. The outcode covers Cotham, Redland, Westbury Park and parts of Bishopston. Housing is dominated by large Victorian and Edwardian villas (many converted to flats or HMOs), Edwardian terraces, and pockets of newer apartment development. The University of Bristol's Stoke Bishop halls catchment extends here, and student-let demand is significant on streets near the University.
Redland station and Montpelier station sit on the Severn Beach line. The Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road provide the major arterials. The Downs (Clifton Downs) is on the western edge.
Employment is dominated by the University of Bristol, the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and Bristol Royal Infirmary (in adjacent BS2/BS8), and professional services.
Bristol City Council operates additional HMO licensing in defined areas including most streets in BS6. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be a substantial cost on Victorian villa conversion stock.
