About

Goldsmid East occupies a central coastal strip of Hove, stretching from the King Alfred Leisure Centre west to the border with the Brunswick and Adelaide area. The district is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing and larger mansion blocks, with several quiet, leafy squares. Its main thoroughfare is Church Road, which hosts a variety of local shops, cafes, and services catering to the neighbourhood.

The area is defined by its long, straight seafront, featuring the broad, paved promenade of Hove Lawns. This expanse of green, divided into individual lawns, is a distinctive local asset used for casual recreation. The pebble beach and the iconic, colourful beach huts are central to its identity. Inland, the residential streets are generally tranquil, with the Hove Museum & Art Gallery located in a former Regency-era villa near the border with the Poets Corner area.
