Covering: Southampton, Winchester, Eastleigh, Romsey, Totton, Hedge End, Lymington and the rest of the SO postcode area.
The local landmark: Winchester Cathedral, one of the longest medieval cathedrals in Europe, and Southampton's medieval Bargate anchor the area.
Students: The University of Southampton, Solent University and the University of Winchester bring tens of thousands of students, with halls clustered around Highfield and Portswood.
On the ground: Victorian terraces and student lets dominate Portswood and Shirley, with high-rise blocks near the docks and New Forest villages reached down narrow lanes. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Student moves dominate in September and June, while Winchester steadily draws London families trading long commutes for cathedral city life.
While you wait for the van: The Titanic set sail from Southampton in April 1912 and most of its crew were Southampton residents.
