About

Kingswood is a suburban town and civil parish in the South Gloucestershire district of the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire, England. The town is in the Bristol Built-up Area, situated 3 miles (4.8 km) east-northeast of Bristol city centre. In 2023 it had a population of 48,474. Broadly speaking, Kingswood spans the area from John Cabot Academy in the west to the A4174 ring road in the east. Some areas which are in close proximity to Kingswood, such as Two Mile Hill and St George East (both located within the City of Bristol) and parts of Hanham and Warmley Hill are often considered to be part of Kingswood by locals. The border between South Gloucestershire and the City of Bristol is situated at the western end of Kingswood's High Street, meaning that anything west of this point is no longer Kingswood civil parish, though locals often consider the shops and residential areas that fringe Two Mile Hill to be a continuation of Kingswood neighbourhood.
