About

Milton is a primarily residential district located to the east of Portsmouth city centre, bordering the southeastern edge of Southsea. The area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with a mix of local shops and services concentrated along its main thoroughfares. Milton Park provides a significant green space for the community, featuring sports facilities and open grassland.

A notable local landmark is the Milton Locks, a series of tidal gates and channels originally constructed for land drainage and flood defence. This water management system remains a functional and distinctive part of the area's landscape, separating Milton from the neighbouring district of Eastney and influencing the local environment.
