The Plough is really a pub but most people only see it when it comes alive after 11 with a heaving dancefloor and reliably eclectic DJ's. It's easy to find yourself still dancing at 3am when you were expecting to have a quiet night.

A good destination for a bike ride on the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path. The pub sits overlooking a weir in a beautiful spot for the evening sunshine. It does serve food but can't guarantee the quality, it's all about the location with this one.

Gloucester Road claims to be the longest (mostly) independent high street in Europe. You will find a myriad of charity shops, craft shops, cafes, bars, pubs, bakeries and pretty much anything else you can think of. The most vibrant section is further towards the centre starting from the Somerville Road junction.
