Pompey Parking

Rent a Pompey Parking Space

Ever wondered why Portsmouth is known as Pompey? There are several different theories as to the origin of this name. One story goes that when the port was first developed in Roman times, locals nicknamed the town Pompey after the well know ruins of Pompeii. Other stories suggest that the name comes from the pomp and ceremony connected with the Royal Navy based at Portsmouth, or that it is simply a drunken sailor’s slurred pronunciation of the town name.
