Anchor Square

Ever seen the massive @ Bristol building down near the Bristol Harbourside? Well this square is literally just next to this building, so it’s not too hard to find at all. It’s a very modern and trendy area laid with concrete and although it’s not the biggest open space in Bristol it somehow creates the illusion that it’s very spacey and chilled out.
They often put on the odd live event here such as music or different acts on a little stage, but the best thing about it is the fact that they have a large plasma screen TV at the front of the square which they use for screening various different things throughout the day — and with the World Cup season coming up I’m definitely going to head down to Anchor Square with a few drinks as I’m sure the atmosphere is going to be brilliant!
Located right by the Waterfront its in a lovely location, and all the places surrounding the square are very modern and beautifully designed — it really is just a nice place to go to especially when they’ve got some kind of entertainment going on! They also have a large underground multi storey car park right next to it which is worth knowing…

Anchor Square is a small concreted park or court yard near @ Bristol. It is wonderfully designed to create a feeling of open space, and mixes this with beautiful fountains and water displays.
There is a large outdoors television screen which shows world news and local weather, along with sport updates and other local information. There is also a variety of fountains and benches for a good photo opportunity, or even a nice place to spend your lunch break. Additionally there are cleverly positioned historical statues which can easily be mistaken for real people if the weather is poor — can make a good ‘you’ve been framed’ moment when tourists realise they are not real!
I also really like the large rounded silver planetarium in the corner of the area which is quite transfixing to look at! The park is a lovely, cosmopolitan and very clean/​tidy area which really shows off the best of Bristol.
