About

West St Leonards lies along the western edge of Hastings, stretching from the seafront up into the residential streets on the gentle slopes. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses and larger detached properties. The coastline here features a long shingle beach and a functional promenade, with views extending towards Bexhill-on-Sea.

A notable local landmark is the former St Leonards Bathing Pool, a now-filled-in lido whose concrete structure remains a distinct feature on the seafront. The area provides quieter residential living compared to central Hastings, with local shopping concentrated along London Road. It is well-connected by the mainline railway station that shares its name with the district.
