Bexhill Central

Bexhill Central sits at the heart of Bexhill-on-Sea in Rother, covering the town’s main shopping streets, civic buildings and the seafront fringe. The De La Warr Pavilion occupies a prominent position on the promenade at the foot of the town centre and contains gallery space, performance areas and a café. Retail units line the High Street and side streets, with a mix of retailers, services and council offices clustered within short walking distance. Public transport stops and the town’s rail station on the East Coastway line are on the edge of the central area, giving regular local rail and bus links.

The area rises from the pebble promenade into residential streets characterised by late Victorian and interwar housing, with small green spaces and community facilities dispersed between them. Local streets provide direct access to the promenade and to civic amenities such as the library and health services, while the layout of the town centre keeps shops and services compact and walkable. Frequent short trips and day-to-day errands typically start and finish within this central zone.
