Southampton in General Reviews
Newest Review: ... shopping centre opened on the 28th September 2000 and is 800,000 square feet of pure shopping and restaurants. Some of its biggest names are Marks and Spencers, John Lewis, Apple, Zara and Gap. It is also home to the Southampton F.C Shop. There are 2 floors of fashion stores offering over 90 shops. On the top two floors there are a number of fast food chains such as mcdonalds, Kentucky etc. Also some top name restaurants such as Pizza Hut, Nandos and Harry Ramsdens. West quay has its good and bad points. When it was first built i didn't think much of it to be honest, it cost a lot of money and took a long time to build and compare... more

Southampton, hmm let me see. What has it got going for it? What does it have for the residents of its city? What does it have for tourists and the like? I used to enjoy a day out in Southampton, but that was a long time ago when, I was younger and Firstly, St Mary Street had an excellent selection of 'alternative' shops, music shops, charity shops and basically was a little livelier than it is now. Secondly, I enjoyed visiting pubs and clubs. Now that i am "all growed up now", and definitely a lot less 'alternative' I am not too bothered about alternative shops and buying records and stuff like that. But I ... Read the complete review

Southampton is my home city and I absolutely adore the place! I'm writing this to let people know an insiders knowledge of the city because I get pretty annoyed with the publicity it gets from other cities, calling it unfashionable for example, when it is far from that! SO...i'm here to tell you what the city is really like...and give Southampton the credit it deserves. Southampton is by far one of the prettiest urban cities in the UK (and i've visited alot of Uk Cities) It has loads of parks and recreational areas, not just sprawls of concrete! It has fantastic shopping facilities, especially now that "West Quay" has been built, and some ... Read the complete review

Southampton has been a very important pier. As you know, it is also where Titanic started its tragic journey. I had the opportunity to see Southampton, When I joined the outdoor-based training weekend of my university which took place in Southampton. Firstly, that weekend I had the opportunity to see the nice river and the pier. You should absolutely see the Old City Gate, Bargate, located in High Street of Southampton. It is the most elaborate medieval gate you can fond in England. As far we were told, it has served as a prison, tollgate and finally museum so far. Also you can walk around the city walls. Moreover, Tudor House Museum ... Read the complete review

The all new West quay The new west quay centre has now been open for all you shop-o-holics to use. However all the hype about how brilliant it is because it’s so big and brilliant is now dying off. If you are going to spend a day in Southampton then west quay is a good place to set up camp. This is because it has on the third floor a whole array of places to eat such as mc Donald’s, K.F.C and pizza hut for teenagers and more sophisticated restaurants for the adults to use, such as Italian restaurants. However on this floor there is not enough seating. Lots of people end up sitting on the floor while trying to eat!!! This could have been resolved ... Read the complete review
