The area around Southsea.
Southsea is Portsmouth's seaside quarter, with a long seafront, the Common, rows of Victorian terraces and large converted townhouses, plus a big student and naval population. Albert Road and Castle Road carry a strong independent scene of bars, cafés and small shops. Many properties are flats and rentals, so landlords and letting agents are a core market for trades, while independents need sites that look the part and keep opening times accurate for summer seafront trade.
Inside Portsmouth, the closest places are Portsmouth (1 mile) and Cosham (4 miles). Just over the council boundary, Gosport (2 miles), Ryde (5 miles), Fareham (6 miles) and Havant (6 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Within Southsea itself, we build for businesses in Albert Road, Castle Road, Eastney, Fratton, Milton, Old Portsmouth and Craneswater.
Southsea (postcode area PO) sits about 107 miles east of Exeter.
