The Hanover area is a residential neighbourhood situated on a steep hillside north of central Brighton. Its streets are lined with rows of traditional two-storey terraced houses, many painted in bright colours.

The local high street, Southover Street, provides independent shops, cafes, and pubs for the community. A distinctive feature is the annual Hanover Day street festival, which sees many roads closed for a local celebration. The area offers clear views over the city rooftops towards the English Channel from its upper streets.
