About

Regency ward occupies a central coastal strip of Brighton and Hove, stretching from the western edge of Brighton's city centre to Hove's eastern border. The area is primarily defined by its dense residential streets and the major thoroughfare of Western Road. Its coastline features the long, straight promenade and shingle beach running from the ruins of the West Pier to the border with Hove Lawns.

The architectural character is overwhelmingly dominated by the elegant, uniform terraces and squares built during the 19th-century Regency period, which give the ward its name. A notable local landmark is the yellow-brick Sassoon Mausoleum, an ornate Victorian structure situated within the extra-parochial grounds of the Brighton Extra Parochial area. The ward is a mix of private housing, hotels, and guest houses.
