These are Leah’s top-five Bristol favourites:
The harbour

“OF COURSE I love to hate it, having walked around (and around and around) it multiple times during each lockdown. I think I could do it with my eyes shut and still make it home safely.”
Spicer & Cole, Queen Square Avenue (particularly the window seat)
Spicer & Cole have four cafes across Bristol – photo: Martin Booth
“Pre-pandemic, I spent more time here than my actual home.”
F45 Bristol Central

“My other (more sweat-based) home. The people. The movements. The music. The sanitising. I LOVE IT ALL.”
BS3 / North Street / The Malago
The Malago is a family-owned independent restaurant on North Street in Bedminster – photo: Martin Booth
“Is this three? Did I cheat?! Perhaps I’m biased but it’s my favourite area of Bristol, and the social media channel of The Malago is a HILARIOUS follow.”
Mrs Potts Chocolate House

“I don’t need to explain why… do I?!!!”
