About

Patcham West & Westdene sits on a raised plateau on the northern edge of the city, bordered by the A27 bypass. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of interwar semi-detached houses and later developments, with many homes offering views over the surrounding downland. Local shopping needs are served by a small parade of shops along Westdene Way, including a convenience store and a post office, creating a self-contained neighbourhood feel. The open green space of Carden Park provides a focal point for the community.

The area is defined by its proximity to the South Downs, with the steep slopes of Hollingbury Hill rising immediately to the east. A distinctive feature is the network of old flint walls lining many streets, a legacy of the area's rural past before its 20th-century expansion. Several local schools, including Westdene Primary, anchor the community. Public transport links connect residents to central Brighton and Hove via frequent bus services along the main roads.
