About

Hampden Park South is a residential neighbourhood situated just over two miles inland from Eastbourne's seafront.

Housing here consists primarily of post-war semi-detached and terraced homes, offering a practical living environment. The area is served by its own railway station, providing direct links to the town centre and beyond.

The local landscape is defined by the park's expansive fields, mature tree lines, and a large pond. This green infrastructure supports casual recreation and local wildlife. A specific feature is the park's model railway, which operates on select days. Daily needs are met by a cluster of shops and services along Brassey Avenue. The overall character is one of a settled, functional suburb with easy access to both natural space and urban amenities.
