About New Bridewell

Listen up, because if you're hitting Bristol, you're not going to settle for anything less than a prime postcode. New Bridewell Bristol student accommodation is the answer. Located right on Nelson Street in the absolute heart of the city, this isn't just a place to sleep; it’s a high-rise, modern hub designed for students who want to be in the centre of the action. Its unbeatable central location and high-quality, self-contained units make it the definitive choice for a Bristol city centre studio.

The academic convenience here is frankly ridiculous. For students at the University of Bristol (UoB), you are looking at a lightning-fast University of Bristol 10 minute walk to the main campus. Imagine rolling out of bed and being at your lecture before your flatmates even find their shoes—that’s the New Bridewell reality. For those at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), you’re perfectly situated for the commute, with a short UWE Bristol bus route easily accessible from nearby Broadmead bus station. For students at BIMM, you're also only a 10-minute walk away.

New Bridewell is designed for the independent student who demands privacy and convenience. Every room here is a fully self-contained studio, meaning you get your own kitchen, en-suite bathroom, and study space, guaranteeing that vital personal space. This focus on independence sets the standard for luxury studio living in Bristol.

The studio options cater to different budgets and space needs:

  • Bronze Studio: The smart, self-contained option that gives you everything you need in an efficient layout.
     
  • Silver Studio: A slightly more spacious version for when you need a little more room to breathe and spread out.
     
  • Gold Studio: A generously sized studio, perfect for those who like their space or for couples, as many of these offer free dual occupancy.
     
  • Platinum Studio: The largest, most luxurious option, offering maximum living space and premium positioning.

The best part? Your life is simplified with fixed and totally transparent all-inclusive student living Bristol. That single payment takes care of all utility bills (gas, electricity, water), contents insurance, and, crucially, high-speed Wi-Fi. No arguments, no admin, just effortless living in one of the most central Bristol city centre studio properties.
