Woolston sits on the east bank of the River Itchen, directly across the Itchen Bridge from Southampton city centre. Once home to a famous shipyard, it now mixes Victorian terraces and older family houses with modern riverside apartments at Centenary Quay.
Portsmouth Road and Victoria Road are the local high streets, with Weston Shore and Southampton Water to the south, Sholing and Peartree to the east and Netley a short drive away. We've moved homes here for 15+ years – so we know the bridge, the riverside blocks and the narrow terraced streets.

Local know-how
Moving house in Woolston: what to know
Every Woolston move is a little different. Here's what we plan for so you don't have to:
1
Itchen Bridge – the quickest route into the city is a toll bridge, which we factor into the plan
2
Riverside apartments – Centenary Quay blocks need lift bookings and set loading areas
3
Narrow terraces – older Woolston streets often mean dismantling wardrobes and beds
4
Weston high-rise flats – upper floors need lifts booked and extra time
5
Portsmouth Road traffic – we plan around peak times on the A3025
6
Quick motorway access – M27 Junction 8 is close for longer moves
