About

West Leigh is a residential suburb situated directly north of Havant town centre. The area is primarily composed of post-war housing estates, with a mix of detached homes, semis, and terraces. Its streets are arranged in a grid-like pattern off the main roads of New Lane and Middle Park Way. The geography is largely flat, with the urban landscape giving way to more open spaces towards its northern edges near the railway line.

The area functions as a quiet, practical base with local shops and schools serving the community. A notable feature is the presence of the old Leigh Park Gardens, a surviving section of the landscaped grounds from the original Leigh Park House estate. This provides a green, wooded space with a pond, contrasting with the surrounding housing. The suburb offers straightforward access to Havant's mainline railway station and the A3(M) motorway for wider connections.
