How is it like living and working in Southampton, UK versus Bath, UK?

First, let me just correct something. You' ve written Suton . This might be confused with Sutton in Greater London. What you actually should have written is Soton, which is a common abbreviation for Southampton. I actually know where the University of Southampton is and I used to work for the University of Bath. The University of Southampton is located to the north of the city in what seems to me to be a largely residential area . Like the University of Bath, it's a modern university established after the Second World War. Both universities have very good reputations. Southampton is a much larger city than Bath, represented by roughly 2.5 parliamentary constituencies to Bath's 1 constituency. Both cities have good rail connections but driving in Southampton is much easier than it is in Bath. Bath has two problems with its roads. The first is that many are narrow and the other is that it lies on many routes to Bristol, so, if it can't or doesn't make sense to use t...

Much later, it became popular as a spa resort during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone. Bath and its stunning surrounding countryside offer 's tourists a mul...

Image
Bath is the fourth best city for endurance sports , according to MoneySupermarket. Endurance sports are proving more and more popular and a new study ranked Bath as one of the top places to try your hand at long-distance sports.
