People travel from afar to come shopping in Portsmouth. The most popular destination is Gunwharf Quays, a designer outlet complex that is home to 90 stores, 30 eateries, a cinema, bowling and more. Gunwharf is easily accessible via ferry, bus, or train (all just five minutes’ walk away). Alternatively, there is ample 24-hour parking. Designer outlet stores at Gunwharf Quays include Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, UGG, and The White Company.

If you would prefer to mooch around the city centre, Commercial Road is the main shopping street, as is the Cascades Shopping Centre. The whole area is pedestrianised and home to big brand favourites such as JS sports, Primark, H&M, and Boots.

If you require something a little quirkier, pop down the road to bohemian Southsea which is full of independent stores, vintage clothing shops, and individual cafes.

Transport Links Portsmouth

Portsmouth is an island city which means that, due to limited bridges, traffic can become a challenge. However, once you are near the M27 or M3, it is often plain sailing.

Commuters will be happy to know that Portsmouth has two railway stations; Portsmouth and Southsea, and Portsmouth Harbour. There are regular trains to London Waterloo and Southampton every hour.

Due to its coastal location, ferries and catamarans leave Portsmouth to the like of the Isle of Wight, France, the Channel Islands, and Bilbao.
