About

Elm Grove is a residential road and neighbourhood in Brighton and Hove that rises from the edge of the city centre toward higher ground around Bear Road. The street is lined with long rows of late‑19th‑century terraced houses, interspersed with small parades of shops, a few pubs and Elm Grove Primary School. Buses run along the route and many journeys are on foot; the slope of Elm Grove shapes daily movement and the pattern of local services, with community groups active on housing and street issues.

Bear Road sits at the top end of Elm Grove and is best known for Bear Road Cemetery, a municipal Victorian cemetery that includes Commonwealth war graves from both world wars. The cemetery and adjacent patches of open ground function as local green space and a habitat for city wildlife, while the road itself acts as a connector to neighbouring residential streets. Local activity here mixes allotment plots, occasional community gardening and the practical needs of a densely settled area.
