It is beautifully tucked away off Southgate Street and remarkably quiet, yet within walking distance of all the city's amenities as well as lovely walks beside the river through the water meadows, around the College and Cathedral Close. Royal Hampshire County Hospital is also less than a mile away. Communications are excellent with fast access on to the M3 north to London or south to the M27 coastal motorway. There is a mainline station to London Waterloo with a fast and regular commuter service, Southampton International Airport, and the European ferry port at Portsmouth.

There is a wide variety of further state and private schools in the area including Pilgrims and Winchester College a short walk away, Twyford School, Peter Symonds Sixth Form College and St. Swithun's School is just two miles out of the city.
