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.
