Gun Wharf Quays offers something very different to the normal shopping outlet facilities - there are lots of things for bored men to do whilst women can peruse the bargains!! (Sorry, very sexist I realise, but quite true in most cases I find).

Set in the heart of the historic dockyard of Portsmouth, the shopping outlet is ringfenced by bars and restaurants, most of which have great sea views, and it feels almost like the South of France when the sun shines and you can have your meal or a drink outside looking at ...  Read the complete review

For those who have yet to visit this amazing place, please allow me to explain further.

I have always loved Portsmouth and southsea, although I never grow up there it is a place I have visited on a regular basis as I just love all of the history and the surrounding views of the harbour and the Isle of Wight. I had not visited Portsmouth for many years, so me and my partner decided to do down for a long weekend, upon arrival we were amased how much this place had grown, buildings and been demolished and replaced with trendy state of the art looking buildings, yes there were still some of the older features that I remember but the new additions have made this city even more stunning. One of Portsmouth's newest editions is the Gunwarf ...  Read the complete review
