10 Shopping in Southampton That You Shouldn't Miss

October 27, 2021 Velvet Mowry

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.

Great store with great advice and service. Just had my Gibson Les Paul fret dressed and I was pretty sure that some of the frets were beyond help due to my heavy hands and heavy strings. Now I am of " advanced " years I am using lighter strings and thought my Les Paul needed some TLC. They have done a superb job, I couldn't believe how well it has turned out. I would highly recommend the Guitar Store for excellent service, impartial advice and a great selection of a wide price range of guitars. Southampton is fortunate to have this store.

The Bookshop Alehouse

Reviewed By simon-fidler - Southampton, United Kingdom

I've been going to TBA regularly for a couple of years now, if not longer, and it's become my first choice pub in the Portswood / Highfield area. It invariably has a good variety of craft beers both in casks and kegs, and that's it, no food, music or other distractions (other than second-hand books). The beers are well kept and reasonably priced and John and his staff are always willing to provide well informed advice, and tastings, to ensure you get something you'll enjoy. If you want to eat they'll even provide cutlery and crockery for any take-away you bring or order in. But this isn't a a foodie pub. It's a craft beer lover's dream of a place that makes you, and your dog - if you have one - most welcome while you enjoy superb beer from throughout the UK. It's so good to have the place open again after lockdown as there's really nowhere as good in the area.

This review is about the Farm Shop, although we have done pick your own in the summer which is really fun. We love a farm shop, this one is great. Nice selection of vegetables, Hay for our guinea pigs at a good price ( & it’s good hay) & Yankee Candles. Good reasonably priced kindling here too for our fire pit. Plenty of parking, & staff are really helpful. Always nice to see Zeeberry the Zebra which they are keeping in good condition !!
