Southville is an inner city neighbourhood and council ward of Bristol, England, on the south bank of the River Avon northwest of Bedminster. Built mainly between the 1880s and the First World War for workers in local industries, it mixes Victorian terraces with post-bombing infill and recent developments. A late-1990s upswing in property prices brought cafés, bars, and the Tobacco Factory Theatre. Southville, along with Bedminster, hosts the annual Upfest graffiti festival.
