What to do and see in Southampton, England: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Southwest of London is Southampton (Soton to the locals), a metropolitan area centered around the port. However, tucked away on the side streets are ancient gems such as the Tudor House, Mottisfont Abbey, and "God's House," a museum located in a tower in the medieval wall. The ultra-modern Sea City Museum celebrates Southampton's seafaring past and the RMS Titanic. Looking for nightlife? Travelers can dance the hours away with bars, clubs, and live music, all accessible by public transportation.

If these walls could talk, they'd be telling millions of stories. From Norman invasions, Viking raids to floods and German bombs, they've seen everything. They've weathered the storms, ariel attacks, stood the test of time and are still proudly standing. Only if today's builders and workmen applied the same work ethic to the roadworks that they do, we will not have to see the pointless red cones and useless temporary traffic lights clogging up our roads.
