Yes, it could only be Southampton. The trams has unique domed roofs to fit under the Bargate that can be seen behind it.

Embassy cars. Presumably Russian Embassy. The car on the right has the 'CD' (Corps Diplomatique) diplomat plate.

Some good bits on the last couple of pages. The Checker Aerobus is a pretty wild sight – I wonder what happened to that one? I believe there was, briefly, a UK concessionaire in London but I doubt if more than one actually made it over here.
