"With the expansion of the arts courses at Solent University, there was a much greater need for an area to display the examples of contemporary art pieced together by the students/artists who study there. Located in the Sir James Matthews building on Guildhall Square, the Solent Showcase is a gallery and exhibition space within the university, featuring contemporary and visual pieces that encourage its viewers to engage, participate and discuss. The showcase has put on an exciting year’s worth of varied exhibitions, including Art Forms in Nature, an exhibition which presents Wundergarten der Natur, an original portfolio of 40 photogravures from 1932, and Street Jam Live, a celebration of street art, showcasing the best in local graffiti artists, hip-hop, dance and live music."

"The Marlands Shopping Centre was opened on 5 September 1991. At the time, it was the largest shopping centre in Southampton and the first significant shopping centre in the city (East Street Shopping Centre being well out of the way of the main shopping district hence never being very successful and the Bargate Centre being much smaller), however it is now dwarfed by Westquay, which opened in 2000. The Marlands Shopping Centre was constructed to an extremely PostModern design, which was described at the time of opening by one critic as looking like "something made of Lego"."

"The Royal Victoria Country Park is situated on a heritage site that was once the location of the British Army’s first purpose-built hospital. The hospital was demolished in 1966, but the chapel still remains. Why not exercise your legs and lungs by climbing the 166 steps of the chapel tower and take in the outstanding views from the top."

"Very seafood orientated – the front entrance is a fish monger where you can buy fresh fish and shellfish – but has some other choices too. The tasting menu is always superb – who would have thought liquorice sorbet with homemade sherbet could be so good?. Great for a romantic meal."
