This is a "big" sprawling airport with loads of based companies, training, maintenance, a good number of dumped and slowly corroding aircraft etc.
I mostly go there to visit a maintenance company which avoids the handling charge but I checked the above costs 6/2020 with Bliss Aviation on 01202590888.
With the exception of the New Forest, the general area is not particularly attractive so you will probably be going somewhere specific :)
ATC is perfectly nice but the ground stuff for GA has been problematic for many years, with bad management enabling various outfits positioning themselves to skim "handling" fees off visiting GA. Even if you go there to visit a maintenance company they want to know what you are having done because they think you are cheating them of their entitlement :) In fact if you are going for maintenance don't contact any handler and just ask ATC for taxi directions to the said company, and get the company to put your landing fee on their bill.
The airport has a number of entrances and taxi drivers have difficulty finding the right one :)
