Not only is Hampshire within a relatively short distance of London, it also offers the beautiful scenery of the New Forest and South Downs National Park as well as easy access to the south coast of England.
Those looking to live in the county of Hampshire will no doubt love its mild climate and many beautiful towns, such as Southampton and the county town of Winchester, the former capital of England.
Hampshire in numbers:
- The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Southampton is £831 pcm, compared to £1,832 pcm in central London
- The cost of living for a single person in Southampton is £707 pcm, compared to £889 pcm in central London
