About

Kingston and Southwick are neighbouring settlements along the Adur estuary, separated by the main railway line to the coast. Kingston is primarily residential, with streets leading up from the river towards the South Downs. Southwick has a more defined centre around its high street and green, with a mix of housing and local commerce. The area is characterised by its flat, low-lying position beside the tidal river.

The Adur Recreation Ground provides a large open space between the two, used for sports and leisure. A notable local landmark is the art deco Southwick Cinema, which has operated continuously since 1912. The working harbour at Shoreham, with its industrial port and boatyards, lies immediately to the east, influencing the area's character.
