Southampton lies
on the south coast of England on the edge of the New Forest. The
city is well served by transport to the rest of the United Kingdom.
It is located at the junction of the M3 and M27 Motorways which
link it with London and the West Country. It has its own international
airport close to the city centre and is served by a train service
to London at 15 minute intervals. It has a busy deep water port
and has long been the destination and departure point for ocean-going
cruise liners.
Southampton is a city of many exciting activities, and it has been
around for much longer than you might think with its history predating
the arrival of the Romans:
- King Canute was proclaimed King in Southampton and later got
his feet wet
- The Mayflower and Speedwell left Southampton with the Pilgrim
fathers
- Jane Austen and her family lived in Castle Square for three
years
- The first true submarine was built in Southampton
- The Titanic left for New York from here
- The Spitfire was built here and its first test flight was from
what is now the city airport
