Medieval walls nestle among modern developments to create a unique waterfront environment, which includes the Ocean Village marina. Southampton’s port is renowned worldwide for its container ships and prestigious cruise liners, while the city’s SeaCity Museum celebrates the importance of the sea to Southampton’s past and present. 8

Southampton also offers the south
coast’s biggest theatre, featuring
all of the big West End tours; four
cinemas, from arthouse to high-
end; and art galleries, including
