About

Winchester Central sits around the Cathedral Close and the High Street, where narrow lanes and short medieval plots shape the street pattern. The River Itchen cuts through the eastern edge, with the restored City Mill and stretches of chalk stream visible from riverbank paths. Shops, civic buildings and small squares cluster along the main thoroughfare, and fragments of old defensive earthworks and Roman street lines are still legible in property boundaries and lane alignments.

South Winchester runs from the southern end of the High Street down toward the railway and the St Cross area. The Hospital of St Cross stands beside its own church and almshouse buildings, where a centuries‑old wayfarer’s dole continues to be offered on certain days. Residential streets, allotments and river meadows link the centre to open water meadows along the Itchen, and the station on the southern edge provides the main public transport connection to the city core.
