neighbourhood, draw only border, city centre
The central area of the city of Bristol, South West England, is the area south of the central ring road and north of the Floating Harbour, bordered north by St Pauls and Easton, east by Temple Meads and Redcliffe, and west by Clifton and Canon's Marsh. It is contained entirely within the Council ward of Cabot although Redcliffe and Temple Meads are now considered composite parts.
Just south of Broadmead, the city centre survived the Second World War with much less damage
Bristol does not have a dense or organised Central Business District, with shops and offices spread out from Clifton to Temple Meads. Broadmead, however, is the main "high street" shopping district. The current streets and shops were built in the 1950s after bombing during the Bristol Blitz in World War II had damaged much of medieval Broadmead. To the southeast of Broadmead, beside the harbour, is Castle Park also created after the bombing of the original buildings, while to the northwest is St James' Park.
