Portsmouth / Regno Unito

Portsmouth è una città di circa 186.000 abitanti che si trova nella contea dell'Hampshire, nella costa meridionale del Regno Unito. È stata un importante porto navale per secoli. Portsmouth è una città facente parte di un'area metropolitana di almeno mezzo milione di abitanti, con le vicine città di Havant, Gosport, Fareham e Waterlooville. La maggior parte della città giace su un'isola chiamata isola di Portsea, che si trova dove il Solent sfocia nella Manica. L'isola è separata dal continente a nord da una stretta insenatura, con un ponte che la fa sembrare una penisola. Il porto riparato si trova ad ovest dell'isola e la grande baia del porto di Langstone è ad est. La collina di Portsdown domina lo skyline; a nord e sud vi sono le acque del Solent, dove c'è anche l'isola di Wight. Portsmouth include i seguenti distretti residenziali: Buckland, Copnor, Cosham, Eastney, Fratton, Hilsea, Kingston, Milton, North End, Portsea, Paulsgrove, Somers Town. Il porto di Portsmouth è sceso di importanza come porto militare, ma rimane comunque uno dei moli militari più importanti della Royal Navy . C'è comunque un porto commerciale destinato al trasporto di passeggeri e merci verso il continente. Lo sviluppo dato da queste infrastrutture giovò il titolo di città nel 1926.
