Southampton is a port city located in southern Hampshire – and it has a lot going for it besides food. For some, this coastal city is synonymous with its Premier League football team, while for others (specifically students) it’s well-known for its Russell Group university. It’s also a famous port and over the years has seen many famous ships pass through its docks, including the Titanic in 1912 and the Mayflower in 1620.

Nowadays, locals and tourists flock to the city for its cultural, retail and commercial scene, as well as to visit one of its sprawling green spaces (Southampton Common spans a huge 300 acres).
