A meeting place between Bristol and Waterloo?

Question

So im meeting a friend who lives in bristol n we want to try n get together, no offence to any ppl from bristol, but my mom said its not that interesting so I dont wanna go on a few hour train ride to bristol.And she dosnt want to go on a few hour train ride to london cause it costs alot.So is there any city we could meet at thats about half way?

Answer 1

how about reading? bristol isnt boring, has a great night life and good shopping.

Answer 2

oxford?????

might be the  same cost as to  go to bristol

heck go the the  old br website and look under map and tickets

Answer 3

Oxford springs to mind. It's roughly half way between Bristol and London.

Also, you say 'mom', so I'm guessing you're a visiting American... Oxford has a lot of history that visitors seem to really like... why not do both things at once?

Answer 4

READING??? YUK!!

Winchester? Quite staggeringly beautiful.

Bath? - "Romans do it wearing toga's"!!
