## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Southampton City Centre is the commercial and organisational centre of the City of Southampton, England, and the transport hub of the city. The traditional heart of the city is the High Street, which runs from the Town Quay to the Bargate,, which was once the northern gateway to the walled city. As the city grew, this primary commercial area spread to the north of the Bargate, into Above Bar Street. Subsequent reclamation of land from Southampton Water to the west of the High Street led to further expansion in that direction, forming an area now known as West Quay, dominated by the modern Westquay shopping centre. When it opened in 2000, Westquay was the largest city-centre shopping centre in Europe, with around 100 shops.
