Portsmouth is a historical city located in southern England on the coast about 60 miles from London. It is home to many historical sites including Southsea Castle built in 1544 to protect the coast, the Historic Dockyard featuring ships like HMS Warrior and HMS Victory, and various forts built on land and sea to protect the country. Modern attractions include shopping and views from the 170-meter tall Spinnaker Tower, and Portsmouth remains an important port importing much of the UK's bananas.
