Family-friendly

Wish covers the western end of Hove towards Aldrington and the boundary with Portslade. It's a quieter stretch of seafront with lower-key residential streets behind. Housing is a mix of Victorian terraces and some 1930s stock. Aldrington station (on the Brighton to Worthing line) gives you local rail options. The western end of the Hove seafront is peaceful and less busy than further east. It feels like the last bit of Hove before things start to feel like a different town.
