Central sits at the heart of Worthing on the West Sussex coast, centred around the town’s seafront, promenade and shopping streets. The area is framed by Victorian and Regency architecture and notable landmarks such as Worthing Pier, with public gardens and seafront cafes giving it a classic seaside character.
As the commercial and cultural core of the town, the ward hosts a mix of shops, independent cafés, pubs, theatres and galleries - including the town museum - and attracts both local shoppers and seasonal visitors.
