I'm happy to hear that! It was a pleasure to visit and see it all on this one and only walk. I came to Southampton because an Englishman I met on an Australia trip was from there. Now I have a better idea about the city. First I also wanted to see Portsmouth yet went directly with the bus to Brighton instead. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
@@poptravelorg Southampton and Portsmouth are old rivals though both are unique in their own ways :D I am glad your journey took you first to Southampton and pleased you liked it..
@@poptravelorg you've been to Southampton, so no point going to Portsmouth. That's like having Steak and Lobster one night, and then having mouldy egg and chips the next, just to see what they are like.
I lived there from 1988 - 2001 was a groundworker when they built the marlands shopping centre... so the old civic centre police station and courts is now a museum?
Yes, the police station has moved to a large new building, just the other side of Southampton Central Station and the courts are in new buildings in The Avenue (just north of the city centre).
I am so touched when seeing this video. Because I was an international student in this city. Countless vivid memory flashed back to my eyes to remind me how memorable and precious that moment was. Now, I have left Southampton and I really miss her. It witnesses my prime time and my growth. Thanks for your video which help me recall my beautiful memory!
Thank you! I'm happy to hear such comments as yours. Even though my only connection with many of the places was a short stay, I also often rewatch some walking videos to remember the experiences around it. Thanks for watching!
Sad you missed the French Church, of St Julienne, in Winkle Street, which is an important part of the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V and the Southampton Plot, the "Red Lion Pub" which was the old Court House at that time. My Family are from Southampton back to 1869.. Shipping Family links to the Titanic, Grandfather worked For H&W Southampton and Belfast. He emigrated to Quebec Canada for a better Life. Southampton is much better now and is a beautiful City where I was born and still live.. when I was growing up in the 1960's there was a lot of bomb damage from the War, lots of rubble. I remember the LIDO.. and the real swimming pool, the Glass pyramid hotel De Vere is there now.
I went to UK five years ago, was my dream since I was little, but part of that dream it’s to visit Southampton, I’m a big fan of Titanic.. and I’ve been thinking of seeing if I can work in UK for couple months, would love see a different life style, such a beautiful country and amazing people, cheers from México 🙏🏻🇲🇽
I had the chance to go to the Uni of southampton back in 2012 but couldn't get my Visa in time. Ended up in hawaii instead. Can't wait to visit one day and enjoy a game at saint Mary's!
Very nice video of Southampton! I grew up in the city, but moved away 8 years ago. There's always something new to see each time I return - I have some footage of the city from the early 90s and you can see how much the city has developed in a relatively short time :)
@John Buffalo I am 97there are a few parks in Oxford like University Parks, and loads of countryside around the city. The Thames runs through the city too, and the walks along it are very picturesque

I live in Newcastle upon Tyne. Newcastle is too cold and windy. Newcastle' s climate does not agree with me and the city is far from London. I am thinking of moving to Southampton which is one the warmest and sunniest cities in UK. I appreciate your word of wisdom. Thank you
I was a tourist and recorded some 20+ walks in the UK on that trip, such as this one in Southampton. I also was in Newcastle upon Tyne ( th-cam.com/video/wtO26fd781o/w-d-xo.html ) though also just spent one day there. I felt Newcastle to be larger.. Southampton seemed more cozy. Hard to say what city would be better for staying longer... May some locals can give better hints?
This was couple of month prior to COVID, did things change now or are they the same? I will be visiting UK in couple of months and one of the Cities I want to visit is SOUTHAMPTON.
Great video footage quality! What camera or other device were you using? Or would that be telling? Thursday 29th October 2020 at 15:10H UK 🇬🇧 Totton Southampton.
I'm using a DJI Osmo Pocket and a Zoom H1 microphone for the audio. The audio is optimised and synced before upload with the video. Both devices are connected to a power bank for long filming. In case audio comes from the Osmo Pocket it is noted in the video description
I lived in Southampton for a year and honestly I found it very depressing. The architecture made me feel like I was back in the Cold War or something it was all grey cinderblocks. I lived on Northam Road.
I suggest to cover the whole microphone. I'm using a little beanie hat to wrap around the mic body apart from the usual wind muff (first foam and fur). I found out very late that wind noise got picked up from the back of the mic body - a few days before recording this walk actually. You can also use a low cut filter after - starting from 70 or even 100 Hz to lower the rumbling
@@poptravelorg I didn't have an idea to wrap around the mic body before. I'll try to improve my video based on your advice. Thank you for your detailed answer.
After watching this video and much of Southampton, I don’t think it’s this city that makes me change my mind about English cities in general: IMHO, some few places in the city are nice but nothing special ... Good video as usual.
Kvarta B half of Southampton got completely destroyed during the Blitz due to it being one of the biggest embarkation ports for the whole of the allied forces heading to the western front. Not to mention the Spitfire was first designed and built in Southampton. It sustained heavy bombing and forced the rebuilding of much of the original city.
Well it did get badly bombed by the germans in ww2,shame the town planners and architects couldn't of come up with a better job for its rebuild,it all looks a bit cheap,some town planners and architects want sacking.
Absolutely. I've lived in Southampton my entire life and we may look kind of bland because of poor planning but we hold a hell of a lot of history. I'd love to see some new architecture to match what we hold underneath.
great video like always. England is very clean and organized, but kind of bland....idk, maybe it's because I've seen this type of architecture my whole life in the USA
Thanks for the sort of kind comment. Yes UK is clean and organised ... sometimes we don't realise until a foreigner tells us. But we are far from bland. There are some great modern cities with a mixture of old and new buildings and new skyscrapers. Manchester for example. Old and new compliment each other so well. Check out th-cam.com/video/fAbFTmbyyWk/w-d-xo.html bare in mind that was filmed in lockdown.
You obviously didn't know where you were going You spent too long at the bar gate you should have went all the way to the precinct where the shops were British home stores Boots chemist Tyrell and green C&A modes owen and Owen you stayed too long at the bar gate and you didn't even stop at the theatre to see If it was the Odeon or ABC i was a bit disappointed With this video
You are right. It was my first and so far only visit to Southampton. Back in 2019 I captured a total of 37 walks within my one month traveling in Ireland and the UK. When deciding on a route I often chose some sights that are noted on Google Maps rather than shops. I missed out a few historic places as other comments mentioned. Walking direction decisions are mostly ad hoc to see what looks interesting. The videos still should give more of an impression of a place rather than capturing everything in one go. I may return to Southampton at once point and then problem go for a different route. So far many people seem happy with the video. Thanks for watching!
If this horrible pandemic is ever conquered, we plan to move to the south of England from the rabid USA ... if Trump is re-elected. I enjoyed your video, but some commentary on the interesting-looking places you passed would help for those who have never visited Southampton but would like to.
Once a lovely city, now a mess of eyesore modern architecture, totally lacking in character and quite depressing to look at. The amount of economic migrants makes it feel unwelcoming and threatening at times, it's certainly not the Southampton that I loved not so long ago.
The place where I live and work!! You have captured all the best bits of Southampton, thanks for this amazing upload!

I was there, and the town is beautiful. I wouldn't mind living there at all. Not too big, not very small, just perfect town to live in. Great town.

Shame there is no commentary lots of history in Southampton and Hampshire.
Is it a safe place?
Yeh
It's really beautiful 🥰
I wouldn't walk by that school yard at night, so many ghosts there...🎡🐱🐉
