Portsmouth enjoys excellent road connections; the A3(M) puts London only one and a half hours away, and the M27/A27 connects the city with Britain's motorway network.
Drivers heading into the city from Southampton, Bournemouth and the west will approach via the M27. From here, take Junction 12, for the M275 - which will take you right into the heart of the city. From here you can follow signs to Gunwharf Quays and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Fratton Park, the Isle of Wight Ferries, the Seafront and beyond.
Those heading in from Chichester, Brighton and the east can also head down the M275, or may alternatively wish to try the A2030, or the Eastern Road. Whilst this comes to an end across the other side of the city from the ferry port, Dockyard and Gunwharf Quays, it's a popular route into Central Southsea and the Seafront.
