Southampton was recently ranked in the top 10 cities to live and work in the UK.
Southampton is best known for the Titanic, which sailed from here in 1912. The excellent Sea City Museum explores Southampton’s maritime past and features an exhibition on the Titanic. Today, the city is still the “cruise ship capital” of England and is a major centre for sailing and shipping. You can enjoy the waterfront by relaxing in of the attractive bars in Ocean Village marina, or by visiting Town Quay, where you can spot cruise ships or take a ferry to the beautiful Isle of Wight. If you’re here in September, you’ll see the city come alive with the Southampton International Boat Show.
Another thing that you’ll love about Southampton is its parks. Southampton has over 50 parks and green spaces, making it one of the greenest cities in the UK, and an ideal city to relax in after a hard day’s study! Many of the parks are in the city centre, and one of them is opposite our school!
A 25-minute walk from the school is Southampton Common, the city’s largest park at 1.5 sq km. This is home to numerous annual events, including the music festival Common People.
There’s lots to see and do. You’ll love West Quay Shopping Centre (one of the largest in the south), Watermark (a fabulous new £85m restaurant and entertainment complex), and the charming Tudor House Museum in the Old Town. Southampton also has a successful Premier League football club whose stadium is just a short walk from the city centre.
