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.
