St Philip's Marsh is an industrial inner suburb of Bristol, England. It is bounded by River Avon and Harbour feeder canal making it an almost island area, unlike the other two areas surrounded by water, it was historically part of Gloucestershire and is part of North Bristol. The site is home of Avonmeads Retail Park, a large retail and leisure park with Showcase Cinemas and a Hollywood Bowl ten-pin bowling centre among its tenants. It was extensively redeveloped in the 15 years to 2007. A bypass runs over the River Avon creating a major transport link from the A4 road in south east Bristol, to junction 3 of the M32 motorway near the city centre. In past years St Philip's marsh was a housing development for the workers of Bristol's market area (now known as Old Market). One of St Philip's' more influential residents during the early 1900s was George Townsend, a major property developer of the South Bristol area. His family home situated in the St Anne's area of Bristol is still standing today and a reminder of Bristol's history. Today there is very little housing in the area making it almost deserted at night, and other than the retail area it does contain one shop, pub, takeaway and Sparke Evans Park. St Davids Welsh Anglican Church was sited on Feeder road until demolition in 1922. Other churches in the area include St Silas (also Feeder Road) which was damaged during the Bristol Blitz.

Gaunts Ham Park, known locally as Lincoln Park, is a public urban park and playground located on Lincoln Street in the Lawrence Hill area of Bristol, England. Covering approximately 0.6 hectares (1.5 acres), it serves as a green space for the densely populated inner-city wards of Barton Hill and St Philip's. The site is designated by Bristol City Council as a Local Historic Park and Garden. Originally part of the medieval estate of Gaunt's Hospital, the land was acquired by the Bristol Corporation following the dissolution of the monasteries. Prior to its designation as a public space, the site was utilised for coal mining and agriculture. It was established as a municipal recreation ground in the late 19th century to serve the growing working-class population, with a formal layout designed by the Corporation Surveyor George Culley Ashmead. The park's landscape is characterised by mature London plane trees and includes modern amenities such as a multi-use games area and play equipment. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the park has been the subject of various redevelopment schemes and has frequently been a focal point for community safety initiatives, that have aimed to mitigate anti-social behaviour and drug-related crime.
