The Old Town and Town Quay
Bugle Street and the old city walls make a handsome start to the night, a stroll from Town Quay, where the Red Funnel ferries leave for the Isle of Wight.
Hampshire's port city
Naughty Dating Southampton: Meet Port City Flirts
Over 70 members across Hampshire, from the docks to the New Forest, and all it takes is one cheeky message.
Port city nights
Old Walls, New Bars and a Sea Breeze
Southampton wears its history lightly. An evening here can start in a medieval wool store and end on a rooftop over the marina.
Oxford Street and Ocean Village
Oxford Street is the restaurant row, a few minutes from the yachts at Ocean Village. Dinner on one, a nightcap on the other.
Around the Bargate
The medieval Bargate marks the top of the old town and the start of Above Bar Street, with the Mayflower Theatre and the Civic Centre beyond. An easy landmark to meet by.

Where Southampton Dates Meet for a First Drink
The centre is compact enough to walk, from the Civic Centre down to Town Quay, so a first drink never has to mean a trek. Each of these is public and easy to find.
The Dancing Man at the Wool House
A 14th-century wool store on Town Quay, now a brewery pub pouring its own beers, with a restaurant too. Old stone walls, plenty of tables and the waterfront right outside.
HarBAR on 6th
The rooftop bar at the Harbour Hotel in Ocean Village, with views across the marina and the Solent. Walk-ins are welcome and there are DJs in the evenings, so arrive early if you want to talk.
Southampton City Art Gallery
Free to visit, in the Civic Centre on Commercial Road and open Tuesday to Sunday. A daytime wander round the paintings makes a relaxed first meeting, with coffee afterwards if you're getting on.
Home Safe From a Southampton Date
Keep the first few messages on Naughty Dating, where you can block or report anyone and the site warns you if a match tries to move things to WhatsApp. Meet somewhere central, tell a friend the plan and sort out the way home before you go. Coming in from elsewhere?

|---|---|
| Portsmouth | Direct trains to Southampton Central |
| Winchester | Direct trains to Southampton Central |

| London | Fast trains from Waterloo, about 80 minutes |

Quick Answers for Southampton
Is Portsmouth included in the Southampton figures?
Yes. The over 70 members are counted across Hampshire, so Portsmouth, Winchester and the New Forest count alongside Southampton.
Is the New Forest too far for a Southampton date?
Not at all. Trains from Brockenhurst run straight into Southampton Central, so a pub lunch in the forest one weekend and a city drink the next both work.
Where's a safe first-date spot in Southampton?
The Dancing Man at the Wool House on Town Quay, HarBAR on 6th at the Harbour Hotel, or a daytime visit to the City Art Gallery. All are public, central and easy to leave.
What's the age range like across Hampshire?
Close to six in ten members are 35 to 54, more than a quarter are under 35 and around one in eight are 55 or over.
