About

St Thomas ward sits on Portsea Island, bordering Portsmouth Harbour to the west. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. Its streets lead directly to the harbour's edge, where industrial port operations and naval infrastructure dominate the view. The ward includes the historic dockyard area, home to preserved warships like HMS Victory.

The local economy is closely linked to the maritime and defence sectors. Gunwharf Quays, a major retail and leisure complex built on former naval land, lies within its boundaries. The area is defined by its working waterfront, with ferry terminals and naval bases providing a constant backdrop of activity. Residential life here exists alongside this central, functional relationship with the sea.
