The ward sits just north of the city centre of Brighton and Hove and is centred on the large green space Preston Park. It is a mainly residential area of late‑Victorian and Edwardian terraces with some pockets of social housing and student lets, and is well served by Preston Park railway station and frequent bus routes into the centre.
Preston Park itself provides sports pitches, gardens and a café and acts as a focal point for summer fairs, outdoor concerts and the city’s Pride festival, giving the ward a lively community feel. Local high streets of independent shops, cafés and pubs reflect a diverse, active population and a history tied to suburban growth around the railways.
