Tell everyone you know to come and vist the Portsmouth Forum. Portsmouth is a city of about 189,000 people located in the county of Hampshire on the southern coast of England. It is commonly nicknamed Pompey. With an estimated 442,252 residents within its boundaries, making it the 11th largest urban area in England. At the 2001 census it was the only city in England with a greater population density (4,638.5/km²) than London as a whole (4,562.2/km²). A significant naval port for centuries, Portsmouth is home to the worlds oldest dry dock still in use and home to many famous ships, which includes Nelsons famous flagship HMS Victory. Portsmouth has declined as a military port in recent years but remains a major dockyard and base for the Royal Navy. There is also a commercial port serving destinations on the continent for freight and passenger traffic. The Spinnaker Tower is a recent addition to the citys skyline. It can be found in the recently redeveloped area known as Gunwharf Quays. The Portsmouth Urban Area covers an area with a population well over twice that of the city of Portsmouth itself, and includes Fareham, Portchester, Gosport, Havant (which includes the large suburb Leigh Park), Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Waterlooville.
