Quarter to and Quarter past the hour from Paddington takes you to sunnt Bristol
Although I think that this is Bristol Parkway, so you then have to get a little train down to the centre if I remember rightly???

Yeah, go to Temple Meads, then take the number 8/9 bus - about £1.50 will see you travelling up the steep folly that is Park Street (keep an eye out on your right at the bottom of Park Street as you cross the short bridge past College Green - some work by a famous bloke on a wall...). Get off at the next stop at the top, outside the 8th Wonder of the World, The Berkeley - the wonder is how Wetherspoons keep attracting me to such a sh1thole ;D The museum is directly opposite, next to the little building with the tower (Wills Memorial Building - where I went to uni!)

Can anyone recommend any cheap accommodation around the center of Bristol ? (the museum should be in that area I think )

G You'll either need to get a ticket on to Temple Meads - don't even think about travelling on with only a ticket to Parkway, as Temple Meads has ticket barriers on exit - or get a cab to Clifton (about £10-15 I reckon). Might be buses, never tried. Re. cheap accommodation, there's a few overpriced dirty B&Bs in Clifton, but your best bet is somewhere like Travelodge or the Ibis around the Harbourside/Anchor Road - both only 15 mins walk (very uphill...) from the museum. |

I booked the Washington Hotel, just found out you can probably walk from there to the exhibition.. (checked google maps: a 6 min. walk!)
paid 120 gbp for two nights in a twin room for me and a friend.. so 30 gbp per night seems fair to me.. even traditional English breakfast is included but I think I might skip that..

Marriot royal is a nice hotel at the bottom of park street but not the cheepest,
yo yo burger on the triangle gets my vote for fast food
the scream pub (big yellow one) does a big breakfast all day or oppos cafe is chilled halfway down park st
don't know the name but the Chinese next to the triangle kabab house is amazing
java night club ain't too bad either down the bottom of park st

Or print out one of those 2-4-1 vouchers Gourmet Burger do, and go to the one at the top of Park St, 2 mins from the museum.

A great show guide has been put together by Shellshock, was keen not to put it up too soon so as to avoid any spoilers. . . but it's been going on for long enough now. graffoto1.blogspot.com/2009/07/short-guide-to-banksy-vs-bristol-museum.htmlIt'll help you to find loads of the hidden stuff that may get missed if visiting just the once.  I know I certainly missed at least half of the stuff that is mentioned on it when I first went two weeks ago (I stupidly didnt take this with me, but am going again in a couple of weeks.    |
