r/Southampton

Been at the hospital (general) a few times in the past week and am always approached in the car park by a lady asking for money for the bus cause she got special needs?

Who TF is she and who do I notify at the hospital cause people keep giving it to her, I know her tricks and have had to help older people prevent getting scammed especially if they have their wallet or purse out

I’m curious to hear what people get up to around Southampton on weekends. I seem to struggle to come up with things to do, and I’d love some ideas!

I don’t have a car, camping equipment, or any real camping experience, so I’m particularly interested in things that are reasonably accessible by public transport and don’t require meticulous planning or booking weeks in advance.

I’m also quite happy doing things independently, as I don’t have a big circle of friends here at the moment. So walks, places to explore, activities, day trips, interesting little towns/villages, somewhere peaceful to sit and read, etc. are all very welcome.

Even somewhere just outside Southampton that I could get to fairly easily for a few hours would be great. I feel like there must be loads of things people do here that I’m simply not aware of!

So, what’s your go-to weekend activity or day out? Where do you go when you just want to get out of the house for a while?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions, especially the less obvious ones!

hello, Southampton student here in my last year. i am 21 and still can’t drive… which is becoming a headache for me. i don’t really know where to start but does anyone have any driving school recommendations? particularly nervous driver but can’t keep relying on public transport.

i have about £5000 saved but could extend up realistically if needed.

also any suggestions for starter cars would be greatly appreciated but not a priority as when i move back home in london we dont have a driveway.

thanks in advance!

Looking for a job opening to anything as my current job is a shithole feels like hell n drive don’t just have a car rn but will soon or if I get a good paying job

it’s freezing outside! 🥶

Hi guys!
Just moved back home!
Recently I’ve been extremely bored as most of my friends are busy with life. Currently trying to find myself again!

I play guitar, currently own 6 as had to downgrade :( also have a band which is two months out from gigging!
I have a cat which I class as my son, that’s my guy fr.
I play games sometimes but mainly like to get outdoors.

Big Big fan of road trips, I have travelled the length of the UK! (My car is subtly trying to tell me to stop)
trying to quit 🍃(keyword trying 🤣) ..although would be cool to have a friend who also smokes

Looking for people to chat to!! If you’re cool enough (mystery intended)
