Hanham is a parish on the eastern fringe of Bristol in South Gloucestershire, England, retaining a village feel despite its suburban setting. It lies close to the River Avon and the wider Avon Valley, with pockets of countryside and open green space that give it a semi-rural character while remaining within easy commuting distance of the city.
Historically its growth was tied to the coal and other industries of nearby Kingswood, but today Hanham is a mix of Victorian terraces and more recent housing, supporting independent shops, pubs and active community groups; Hanham Common and other local amenities help preserve a strong local identity amid the metropolitan fringe.
