About

Baffins is a residential ward located to the north of Portsmouth's city centre, centred around the large, open space of Baffins Pond. The area is primarily composed of suburban housing, with a mix of property types from interwar semis to more modern developments. Tangier Road serves as a local commercial hub, providing essential shops and services for the community. The ward is characterised by its network of quiet, leafy streets and a strong sense of neighbourhood.

The area is defined by its significant green spaces, including the playing fields of Portsmouth Rugby Club and the adjacent King George V Playing Fields. These large recreational grounds host local sports and provide a counterpoint to the dense urban fabric of the city. The pond itself, with its population of waterfowl, is a focal point for dog walkers and families, offering a slice of nature within the suburban setting.
