Never lived in Southampton, much to my chagrin.

 

Born in Ascot, Raised and lived in Old Windsor, sent to boarding schools in Oxford and Wokingham, back to Old Windsor, Chiswick for 3 drunken months, Old Windsor again and now living in Egham.

 

My parents did have a static caravan in Shorefield near New Milton, so I had many holidays in the Hampshire/Dorset area when growing up.

Flower Road estate - 15 years

Coxford - 3 years

Shirley - 3 years

Polygon - 2 years

Bitterne Park - 2 years

Woolston - 6 months

Bevois Valley - 6 months

 

I generaly like to be between the rivers. Of all of those places, I'd move back to Polygon first, although Bitterne Park is a close second.
