Brilliant American diner, just a short walk from us. Live music also on particular nights. If you fancy a messy burger then this is definitely the place to go!

A place that defines Portsmouth's rich Naval history. Lots to see & do, rain or shine. Time it right and you'll be able to see the Royal Navy's largest ever aircraft carrier the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

Shopping

If you here for some shopping then Gunwharf Quays is the best place to visit, as there is also a lot of bars and restaurants available here. Although Commercial Road still has plenty of shops, not so many restaurants.
High street shopping area with lots of chain brands, but also a few unique brands. If your here for shopping then its worth a visit. Park in the multi-storey not the open flat car park (Multi-storey much cheaper) its as close and as easy to access the shops.

Highly recommend Aqua cars taxi service. Never waiting for more than 10 minutes and very fair prices (fairer than Uber).
