The QE2 Mile links all that is best about our City Centre; our parks, culture, shopping, Old Town and waterfront. Southampton City Council has spent millions of pounds replacing the paving, street furniture and lighting to create a high quality urban setting that is attracting many times more investment from shops, restaurants, cafés and hotels.
If you’d like to find out more about the plans for the city visit http://www.southampton.gov.uk/s-leisure/artsheritage/history/titanic call on 023 8083 2587 or email economic.development@southampton.gov.uk
