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

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
