Discover Southampton
Southampton is a major port city on the south coast of Hampshire, set between the Rivers Test and Itchen. The port and waterfront remain central to the economy, with cruise and cargo activity, marine industries and steady regeneration around Ocean Village and the city centre. Portswood, Shirley and Woolston are among the residential districts, and the New Forest lies to the west. People need to be in Southampton for port, marine and infrastructure work, as well as employers across Hampshire. Southampton Central sits close to the port and city centre, the M27 and M3 give fast road access, and London is reachable in around ninety minutes. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Southampton and handles the whole search through one point of contact.
