Portsmouth has graciously evolved from a traditional naval city to a contemporary waterfront destination in recent years. With modern bars & restaurants on the water's edge along with the UK's newest icon, the Spinnaker Tower, the new and old fit together seamlessly.
Head out to Southsea for 4-miles of seafront promenade backed by gorgeous green spaces and a range of quirky individual shops.
At only 1.5 hours from London, Portsmouth is easily accessible and a breath of fresh air.
