Welcome to The Solent Metropolitan The broader perspective, for a distinct region. We are an independent media platform championing the Solent's cities: Southampton and Portsmouth and towns and villages, all connected by the Solent water on the central southern coast of the UK. We're helping to build a strong, distinct identity for the region that can be recognised worldwide. About The Solent DNA We champion the Greater Solent region in three dimensions: Culture, Sectors and Living. These make up the triple helix of what we believe is the Solent's identity, its DNA. All three are interconnected and can help each other grow. We're here to help make that happen, connecting them across the Solent region. Discover Culture Discover Sectors Discover Living Update: Tue 28 Apr 2026: Work going on behind the scenes and we're not far off from our small soft launch.
