THE PIG-in the wall

City adventures with medieval charm

Our urban PIGlet, THE PIG-in the wall, might be the littlest of our litter, but that doesn't mean there isn't just as much of it or the surrounding area to explore!

Neatly tucked away within the ancient medieval walls of Southampton, it's the perfect base for immersing yourself in the city's bustling high-streets, colourful nightlife and long and illustrious history!

A whole city to explore

Step out from THE PIG-in the wall and you’re straight into Southampton’s old town, with medieval walls and centuries of seafaring history.

The city buzzes with galleries, theatres and music venues, while the harbour is alive with ferries, yachts and cruise ships. From shopping centres to waterside walks, everything is within easy reach!

Some retail therapy

Southampton has plenty to browse, from the high-street names and big brands of Westquay to independent shops tucked into the old town.

Whether it’s fashion, homeware (yes, we have an Ikea!) or a quick retail fix before dinner, everything’s just a short stroll from THE PIG-in the wall.

A night at the theatre

Southampton’s theatre scene is alive and well, with the Mayflower Theatre bringing West End shows to the city.

The theatre is within easy reach of THE PIG-in the wall, making it simple to pair a night out with a cosy stay.
