Southampton sits where the Test and Itchen rivers meet the Solent, creating one of the world's finest natural harbours. The M3 runs straight down from London (Junction 14 for city centre), whilst the M27 provides the main coastal link to Portsmouth and Bournemouth. Popular routes include quick trips to Portsmouth (M27) or longer drives to London via M3, plus scenic routes into the New Forest. The city has over 200 fast EV charging points.
