Meads is a residential ward on the western edge of Eastbourne in East Sussex, hugging the seafront and stretching back into leafy, tree-lined streets largely laid out during the late Victorian and Edwardian expansion of the town. It’s notable for attractive period villas, small local shops and cafés that give a village feel, and easy access to the promenade and coastal walks.
Economically and socially Meads tends to be relatively affluent and popular with professionals and retirees who value sea views and the nearby South Downs for walking; it retains a strong local community identity and a sense of 19th- and 20th-century coastal history while remaining within easy reach of central Eastbourne amenities and transport links.
