Southampton is one of the UK’s greenest cities with several large parks situated throughout the centre. Four of our campuses are next to Southampton Common – 326 acres of managed woodland – perfect for walking, jogging or a spontaneous game of football.
The beautiful New Forest National Park is right on our doorstep, and the coastal resorts of Bournemouth, Poole and Brighton are nearby. The historic cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are even closer. London is also just over an hour away by train.
With its own international airport, the city is within easy reach of Europe, with good connections to cross-channel ferries and the Eurostar rail service.
Southampton is a great place to live – there's a huge choice of things to do and places to visit.
