About

The King Alfred area sits on Hove seafront along Kingsway, facing the pebble beach and Hove Lawns. The King Alfred Leisure Centre is the focal point, with pools, sports halls and community facilities set behind the promenade. Small cafés and shops line the approach roads, and a continuous seafront path runs past the building for walkers, cyclists and runners. Streets behind the seafront are mainly residential, with a mix of Edwardian terraces and post-war flats leading up to Church Road and the local bus routes that serve the neighbourhood.

Local use of the site has been shaped by a long-running redevelopment conversation, and plans for a replacement leisure centre and housing have been a recurring part of local planning papers. Clubs and classes based at the centre attract regular users, and the layout means the area is used for coastal training routes as well as informal beach access. Practical links to Hove railway station and nearby bus corridors make the King Alfred area a compact focus for sport and seafront access in Hove.
