Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth The main shopping centre is off picture to the left.

Gunwharf Quays is Portsmouth's newest shopping area, part of the Portsmouth Harbour regeneration project. Situated on the former home of HMS Vernon, it is home to some 90 shops and designer retail outlet stores including a Ralph Lauren outlet, 20 bars and restaurants many on the waterfront, a 26 lane Bowlplex a 14 screen cinema and waterside apartments and housing developments.

Gunwharf Quays gets its name from its use from the late 17th century, when it was the main ordnance supply depot for the Royal Navy in Portsmouth. It was from this site that ships loaded their weapons, cannon balls and gunpowder before leaving Portsmouth Harbour. HMS Victory would have collected her weapons and munitions here before leaving to fight at the Battle of Trafalgar.
