<div>This independent chain of restaurants features the artwork of local street artists inside and out. The walls are bare brick and industrial fittings. The tables and lockers are lit with neon and hanging light bulbs; local artwork is splashed across the walls and ceiling whilst the industrial sauce dispenser fits perfectly alongside the custom bar.

<div>What must be one of the most unusual street art walking tours includes work by Mydogsighs, Fark, Berk MLC and NZIE. Overlooking the model village is a life size piece by Mydogsighs but on the walls of the village itself, all at 1/12th scale are the really interesting pieces. If you do the walk then get a quiz sheet from the entrance vendor and look for all the things listed while also spotting the street art. Lets hope more artists get involved with bringing street art to the world of the little people.<br>- @mydogsighs<br>- @farkfk<br>- @NZIEgram<br>- @Berkmidlifecrisis<br>- <a href="https://www.southseamodelvillage.biz/">https://www.southseamodelvillage.biz/</a></div>

<div>Take a walk over the footbridge from Clarkes Road that links the north and south of the city across the railway. There is a lot to see as you walk down the alleyway towards Fratton Way. Cross the road at the pedestrian crossing and follow the path around past the petrol station. Cross the road and go down the side of the Pompey Football Club merchandise store. You should be walking alongside Fratton Park Stadium. Cut right at the corner and walk down behind the stadium, this is Specks Lane and there is a lot to see here as well.</div>
