Rookery Road, Knowle

"We have lived on Rookery Road since 1988 so have seen a few changes but it has mostly been a calm and tranquil area to live in. It’s especially good for families with children. We are blessed with a huge amount of green space locally such as Perrets Park with the best views of the city especially at Balloon Fiesta time. The cultural scene is thriving with community film and music clubs. We are fortunate to have the famous Totterdown Art Trail each November which I have regularly taken part in and a good range of decent pubs and cafes. We know our neighbours and there have been several years when we have had a street party."
