Shopping
If you get sick of being a serious student, sometimes you just want to escape with a bit of retail therapy.
Shopping in Southampton offers a fantastic shopping experience, seven 
days a week, with a fusion of famous department stores, high street favourites and lots of specialist and independent shops.
The main shopping location is WestQuay - it offers around one hundred outlets in one state of the art shopping mall. Alongside household names, such as Next, John Lewis, H&M and Marks and Spencers, you will find name brands including Gap, Benetton, FCUK, and Schuh.
For more specialist shopping, the Bargate Centre offers a number of skate and surfwear stores such as Fat Face, Moist and Quicksilver, plus you can get a tattoo, surf the internet and play the latest arcade games in Segaworld.
The Marlands Shopping Centre offers a mix of clothing and lifestyle retailers and the city's retail renaissance is boosted by traditional shopping areas such as Above Bar, Bedford Place and East Street.
