The decay on this old spa is starting to kick in nicely since it closed it's doors in 2020. With Gurkha's living inside, my first visit was cut swiftly short, only managing to tick off the main building. Can you visit a spa without visiting the spa? Don't be silly of course not. So I made a...

Hi there! I’m new to this and was really hoping to find some cool places in Hampshire and Dorset. Preferably in the Bournemouth and Southampton areas. Or near there! A lot of the places I’ve found so far have been either demolished or turned into other things. Will be great if anyone knew some...

Hey all, after nearly three years of constant searching, I finally managed to get into the old Royal Mail sorting office in Portsmouth—though I won’t say exactly how I pulled it off! This massive building, opened in 1977, once had over 500 people working inside and was the main hub for sorting...

Hi, I've visited a few places over the years, mainly with my children, and now they're older I'm attempting more interesting places. A question I do have for the experienced explorers please, if there's a place you'd like to find but information is very limited, how do you go about researching...

The Guildhall Walk In Centre, located in the heart of Portsmouth, served as an essential healthcare resource for the local community. Providing accessible medical care for minor illnesses and injuries, it became an integral part of the city’s healthcare infrastructure. In March 2021, the centre...

Solo explore. I was looking for places to try and decided on going down to the old Cambridge Military Hospital site, I never got to do the hospital before it was converted but i had a few buildings on my map that I thought i would investigate. Arriving on the site I wandered the footpath and...

Hello! I am not so much "new" here but have just never gotten around to making a post 😊 Here's a bit about me: I started Urbexxing around March 2016 when I first went to an abandoned army camp - I've enjoyed looking at history all my life, having explored an abandoned viaduct and train line...

ROYAL HAMPSHIRE HOSPITAL THE HISTORY: I wish I could tell you more about this place, but even after relentlessly searching the internet I can find nothing to even report its closure, let alone what it was used for, so here’s what I can tell you: The Royal Hampshire Hospital is still in use...

Visited with Tom. Yes it’s a complete derpy burned state but I just love places like this they seem to hold more character than a pristine place. I’m really not sure why I’ve not been here before, I’ve had it pinned for a while but never got round to going. Wandering the corridors reminded me...

Hey guys. We usually do ghost hunting and urbex on the side. We know every abandoned place from Portsmouth to near london. Willing to collaborate with others for photos and info etc. <3 PO8 based. Can pay petrol or food blah blah blah. Just looking for like minded cretins ;) aha x

Intro Now, theres not a whole bunch to report on this place, so I'll try to keep this report concise. However I notice there was no information on this place on 28DL and it brings me great joy to introduce the community to something new, even if it is a bit tame, so here goes. Also don't get...

Wanted to give a heads up to others… Tried to visit this place this week & didn’t even make it 20 meters past the fence. A farmer & his son pulled up faster than we could even catch our bearings. Apparently the place was sold recently to some developer in London (though I can’t find evidence...

Hi, I'll keep this short and sweet. I've been toying with urban exploring for a while now. I'm in Winchester. I hope i can get some good pictures to post on here. Is there anyone in the local area that has any good starting points?

This was my first proper urbex, so it's not my best work, still photo heavy though, apologies... I didn't realise the date stamp was turned on on my camera either... :eek Nestled away on a small country lane, looking as if the workers had not long finished their shift, you'll find the decaying...

Visited with Ella on our day in the area. ive not been here before so was looking forward to seeing it. I wasn’t disappointed. Access fairly easy, left over the gate as couldn’t be bothered to go back around. unfortunately there was loads of kids in there generally misbehaving and throwing...

Hello everyone who lives around Hampshire or surrounding areas that are willing to go exploring together as I'm bored of doing it on my own I have a wide range of places to go and trade
