If you prefer to drive, Southampton offers good road links. The city can be accessed via the main motorway network (including the M3 / M27), making it straightforward for people commuting from further afield. 

Once in the city, there are multiple public car parks managed by the council and private multi‑storey / surface car parks in central shopping areas (e.g. around major shopping centres) which are useful if you need to park. 

Also, on weekends or holiday periods you can use the city’s Park & Ride services and then hop on a bus to reach the centre — handy if you want to avoid city‑centre traffic and parking costs.

Southampton is relatively flat in many parts and quite friendly for cyclists and pedestrians, especially around the city centre. It’s a great option if you enjoy a greener, active commute. 

There are also shared e‑scooters and bike options available in the city, which can make last‑mile travel from train or bus easier.

Southampton enjoys a well-connected bus network. Services run frequently across the city and suburbs, operated by providers like Bluestar, Unilink, Xelabus and others. 

There are multiple bus stops around the city centre and the station — making it easy to reach the office even if you don’t live close by. Contactless payment is supported, which makes hopping on a bus quick and easy.

If you’re arriving by rail, you’ll likely come via Southampton Central railway station — the city’s main train hub. The station has recently been upgraded with a modern interchange, improved access, and better onward travel links.

From the station it’s a short walk (or a quick local journey) to the city‑centre office, making commuting by train a convenient and reliable option for many of our colleagues.
