About

Landport sits directly north of Portsmouth's historic dockyard and the city centre, forming a densely populated residential district. The area is characterised by its grid-like street pattern of terraced housing, many built to accommodate dockyard workers in the 19th century. Charles Dickens' birthplace on Old Commercial Road is a notable local landmark.

A key feature is the presence of the remaining sections of the city's old fortifications, including the moated Lion Gate bastion. The area is bordered by the main railway line and commercial traffic routes, creating a distinct urban environment. Guildhall Walk, with its university buildings and civic structures, marks its southern edge.
