If you require something a little quirkier, pop down the road to bohemian Southsea which is full of independent stores, vintage clothing shops, and individual cafes.
Transport Links Portsmouth
Portsmouth is an island city which means that, due to limited bridges, traffic can become a challenge. However, once you are near the M27 or M3, it is often plain sailing.
Commuters will be happy to know that Portsmouth has two railway stations; Portsmouth and Southsea, and Portsmouth Harbour. There are regular trains to London Waterloo and Southampton every hour.
Due to its coastal location, ferries and catamarans leave Portsmouth to the like of the Isle of Wight, France, the Channel Islands, and Bilbao.
