About

The Hanover & Elm Grove ward lies on a steep hillside directly north of Brighton city centre, characterised by tightly packed rows of Victorian terraced houses. The area's pronounced slope creates a distinctive, cascading street pattern, with many homes offering sweeping views over the rooftops towards the English Channel. Local commerce is concentrated along Southover Street and Elm Grove, providing essential shops, cafes, and pubs for the resident community.

A defining aspect is the network of over twenty narrow pedestrian alleyways, known as 'twittens', that cut vertically between the main residential streets. These historic pathways provide shortcuts for residents navigating the hill and create a distinctive, village-like feel within the urban setting. The ward is largely residential, with a notable concentration of students and young professionals, and includes the open green space of Queen's Park at its eastern edge.
