Tom Bristow (born 16 August 1991) is an English rugby union player who is currently playing for London Welsh.[1] Bristow's position of choice is Prop.
Bristow was born in Hong Kong, and attended Tomlinscote School and Sixth Form College in Frimley. Following his A-levels, Bristow studies Geography at Kingston University.
Bristow joined London Welsh from Dorking Rugby Club, whom he helped secure a top five finish in National League Three London last season. In May 2012 he was also part of the Surrey team which won the County Shield, beating Leicestershire 43-12 in the final at Twickenham. The loosehead's abilities were spotted by Harlequins and in October 2011 he was called up by Quins to play in the Aviva A League against Saracens at Woolam Playing Fields. Bristow impressed enough in a good 60-minute shift to be asked back and he made two further appearances for Harlequins in the Aviva A League against Gloucester and London Irish.

It was announced on 15 July 2013 that Bristow has signed for Leicester Tigers for the start of the 2013-14 season.[2]
