Websites for an island city and naval port

Most of Portsmouth stands on Portsea Island in the Solent, so it is the only English city not mainly on the mainland. Its 211,475 residents in 2025 make it the most crowded city in the UK, and it shares a continuous built-up area with Southampton, Fareham and Gosport.

The navy has defined the city for centuries. Much of Britain's surface fleet is based at HMNB Portsmouth, and many local people work at the dockyard, tied to defence, one of the city's main industries. BAE Systems Surface Ships has its headquarters here. IBM runs its UK headquarters from the city, ferries carry passengers and cargo, and a small fishing fleet sells its catch at the quayside in Old Portsmouth.

Heritage and shopping bring visitors in. The Historic Dockyard holds the Mary Rose, HMS Victory and HMS Warrior, and hosts a Victorian Christmas market each year. Gunwharf Quays, on the old HMS Vernon site, mixes shops, restaurants and a cinema, while Commercial Road and the Cascades Shopping Centre draw big crowds every week. We work with businesses in Portsmouth remotely, over video calls, email or WhatsApp, at times agreed around your day.
