Hangleton South

Hangleton South is a residential quarter on the north‑west side of Brighton and Hove, laid out mainly in the 1930s with later post‑war housing and council estates. Streets are a mix of semi‑detached homes, small terraces and short runs of flats, with pocket greens and recreation grounds woven between them. The medieval St Helen’s church sits within the area and provides a visible link to Hangleton’s longer history amid the 20th‑century development.

Local facilities are centred on a few small shopping parades, a community centre, a library and primary schools, which together form the neighbourhood’s everyday focus. Public transport runs along the main roads, linking Hangleton South with the city centre and other suburbs. There are allotments and open spaces used for football and informal play, and health and social services are available at nearby surgeries. The area’s pattern of streets and community hubs makes it primarily residential in character, with services aimed at local needs rather than tourism.
