Southampton is a small University city situated in the middle of the South Coast of England. Lewis School of English is located in the heart of the city centre, overlooking beautiful parks. Southampton has a population of about 230,000. London is just 65 minutes away by train and you can easily visit other European cities by plane, coach, ferry or train from Southampton. This makes the city an excellent base to explore Britain and the rest of Europe. The city has a long maritime history which can be re-lived in its museums and ancient walls. For many years it was the gateway to Britain for the ocean liners and remains the home port for the cruise ship industry. Southampton offers a wide range of social, cultural and leisure facilities such as theatres, cinemas, pubs, restaurants, sport centres and art galleries. West Quay Shopping Centre is one of the largest in the south of England. Southampton is also one of only two cities on the south coast with a Premiership football team. A new stadium seating 35,000 opened in August 2001. We can see it from some of our classrooms!
