About

Heene sits directly between Worthing town centre and the sea, forming a densely packed residential district. Its streets are lined with terraced Victorian and Edwardian houses, many converted into flats, reflecting its popularity as a place to live rather than visit. The area is defined by its proximity to the seafront, with several roads leading directly to the promenade.

A notable feature is the Heene Cemetery, a small, historic graveyard tucked away off Heene Road, providing a quiet, green space amidst the houses. The local architecture includes some distinctive early 20th-century villas with decorative brickwork, particularly around the edges of the neighbourhood.
