Fire Safety Services in Cosham
Cosham is a northern suburb and electoral ward of the city of Portsmouth, in Hampshire, with a population of approximately 13,800. Originally a Saxon village—its name meaning “Cossa’s homestead”—Cosham maintained a distinct identity until the mid-20th century, when Portsmouth’s urban expansion incorporated it into the wider city. Despite its growth, Cosham has retained a sense of community and acts as a significant local centre within northern Portsmouth.
The area is well connected. Cosham railway station, located on the West Coastway Line, opened in 1848 and provides frequent services to destinations including Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton, Cardiff, and London Waterloo. The suburb is served by regular bus routes linking it to central Portsmouth and surrounding areas. Road access is excellent, with the A27 running through Cosham and easy access to Junction 12 of the M27 motorway, connecting the area to Fareham, Chichester, and the rest of Hampshire.
Economically, Cosham is centred around healthcare, education, retail, and business services. Queen Alexandra Hospital, located in the north of the area, is a major employer and the main acute hospital for southeast Hampshire. It also serves military personnel. Cosham was previously home to IBM UK’s headquarters at North Harbour, a site now known as Lakeside Business Park, which continues to host offices and technology firms. The pedestrianised High Street area offers a variety of shops, cafes, banks, and a weekly market, supporting local commerce and services.
Cosham is bordered by several key neighbourhoods and communities. To the south is Hilsea and central Portsmouth; to the east lie Bedhampton and Havant; Drayton and the slopes of Portsdown Hill form the northern edge; while to the west, Cosham connects with Farlington and the A27 corridor. Its mix of historic roots, excellent transport links, strong community services, and proximity to major employment hubs make Cosham an important and vibrant part of northern Portsmouth.
