Southampton Lifestyle
Introduction | Coach Station | Lifestyle | Sightseeing
A cosmopolitan city since time immemorial, Southampton features the best of the world's cultures, alongside the cream of local style and cuisine, and in recent years this vibrant, laid-back city has evolved into one of south England's favourite lifestyle destinations.
From seafood to South Indian
With tickets to Southampton by coach the city is your oyster - often literally, as Southampton makes the most of its coastal location to serve some of the best seafood you're likely to have tasted. As well as a summer Seafood Festival, there are numerous restaurants and cafes around the city, serving everything from smoked salmon to good old British fish and chips.
But there's more to Southampton than just fish. The city's long-established Asian population have ensured that there's an Indian restaurant to suit every taste and every budget. Travel to Southampton by coach and pay a visit to the classy Rasraj on Oxford Street - or sample some healthy South Indian cuisine at Namaste Kerala.
Superb for shopping
Southampton is regularly named among the UK's top retail destinations, thanks to its tempting range of upmarket shopping centres, independent boutiques and bustling markets. Travel to Southampton by coach and join the crowds at West Quay in the city centre or, for a more relaxed experience, look out for the markets held in Bargate on Fridays and Saturdays, where you can pick up anything from local food and drink to original artwork.
There's also the popular Marlands Shopping Centre, featuring a Disney Store and a Poundland, and if you're in need of inspiration for your home, travel to Southampton by coach and head to Ikea, right next to the coach station.
A perfect place to party
