Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Start your journey from Sunbury-on-Thames in Southwest London. The M3 motorway begins here at Junction 1 as a double three-lane road.
Step2
Go in the southwest direction, pass below the M25 at Junction 2, and drive on till you reach Junction 4 on the Surrey and Hampshire border. Now you drive through the Farnborough suburbs, through some rural country and across the South Western Railway Main Line.
Step3
Drive along Basingstoke Canal until you reach Basingstoke town. Skirt around it, turn southwest and reach Junction 8. Continue along double two-lane carriageways.
Step4
Enjoy some beautiful country scenery en route to the Winchester Bypass, and travel on to Junction 9 where the M3 once more becomes a three-lane road. Continue southward and circle around Winchester city.
Step5
Drive through Twyford Down, head southwest and cross the South Western Railway Main Line again, this instance along the Itchen river. Travel on to cross the Eastleigh-Romsey line next.
Step6
Reach the Chilworth Roundabout outside Southampton. Follow the signs into Southampton city and park at one of the many pay and display places in the city centre.
