Southsea, Seaside town in Portsmouth, England
The commercial center of Southsea extends along Palmerston Road and Albert Road, featuring specialist stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues within walking distance of the beach.
Originally named Croxton Town, this Victorian seaside resort changed its name after the construction of Southsea Castle by Henry VIII in 1544 to protect the Solent.
The Kings Theatre on Albert Road maintains its Edwardian architecture from 1907 and presents theatrical performances, musicals, and community productions throughout the year.
The South Parade area connects to the Isle of Wight through regular hovercraft services, while local buses provide transportation to Portsmouth's main railway station.
Southsea Common preserves mature elm trees that survived Dutch elm disease, making them among the oldest and largest specimens in Hampshire.
