About

West St Leonards covers the western edge of Hastings, stretching inland from the coastline. The area includes a mix of residential streets and local commercial hubs, with housing primarily consisting of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. The topography slopes upwards from the seafront, offering views over the English Channel from higher points. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads like the A259 and Bexhill Road, which channel traffic through the area.

A notable local landmark is the tall, red-brick chimney of the former gasworks, a remnant of the area's industrial past. The ward contains several green spaces, including St Leonards Gardens with its formal planting and a small, enclosed bowling green. The seafront promenade is lined with a mix of apartment blocks and traditional guesthouses, facing a shingle beach.
