Portsmouth, famous for its 800-year maritime history, is one of the most interesting cities on England's beautiful south-coast. Portsmouth's Historic Naval Dockyard is one of Britain's leading tourist attractions welcoming over one million visitors a year and includes Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, the world's first iron warship, HMS Warrior, King Henry VIII's Mary Rose and the Royal Naval Museum. Portsmouth is also a thriving seaside holiday resort with a fantastic range of entertainment, cultural and sporting facilities.

Portsmouth is also home to the iconic Spinnaker Tower; standing 170m tall, on a clear day you can see for 40km.  It is located in the middle of Gunwharf Quays, a modern marina with designer outlet shops, restaurants, bars, cinema, bowling alley, nightclubs...all your entertainment needs!

Albert Road is one of the most popular areas in Southsea for students: quirky shops, restaurants, bars, live music, antiques and retro clothes.

The school is located in the heart of Portsmouth and in the very best area of the city; next to the main shopping centre, library and railway station, theatre and restaurants, and yet is still within walking distance of the beach and sea-front.

There are excellent communications by road and rail to London and its airports (approximately 75 minutes from Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Airport and only 20 minutes from Southampton Eastleigh Airport), and by sea to mainland Europe.
