Brunswick & Adelaide

Brunswick & Adelaide (electoral ward) sits on the edge of central Brighton in the city of Brighton and Hove, running along the seafront and taking in the famous stucco terraces and squares of Brunswick and the streets around Adelaide. It is compact and characterful, with many Regency and Victorian buildings, short walking distance to the pier and the city centre, and a patchwork of conservation areas and private-rented housing.

Socially and culturally the ward is mixed - a long-standing local community alongside students, holiday lets and hospitality workers - which gives it a lively café, pub and independent-shop scene but also pressure on housing and services. The area’s historic architecture and seaside location make it attractive to developers and visitors, while active neighbourhood groups and conservation interests push to retain its strong local identity.
