The City of Portsmouth
Portsmouth is a vibrant, lively city with numerous things to see and do. It is steeped in rich history and is renowned as one of the most famous naval ports in England. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, beaches and historical monuments, Portsmouth is a legacy to both the old and the new. Within the city centre and along the esplanade, all manner of cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs can be found. Large shopping complexes house all of the latest fashions and technology, and there is a surplus of cinemas, bowling alleys, pool halls and sports centres.
It is located along the south coast of England, only a boat ride from the Isle of Wight, or even Spain and France. It is only ninety minutes by train to London, and much less than that to cultural and historical locations such as Chichester, Southampton, Winchester or Brighton.
