The BEST and the WORST places to live in Sussex...?
- Thread starter Bry Nylon
- Start date
Wineham just down the road is even better IMO... and the Royal Oak down there is class.
As for somewhere more urban, Brighton/Hove all along the sea front is incredible.
As for worst, couldn't agree more, went in to Crawley the other day for a couple of hours and within 15 minutes I was following two fellas in their 40s talking about their heroin problems.

It has a lot potential but it has been left to rot, shame really as Hastings has real character but has very little options for young people as far as jobs go.
Best Brighton but not sure for how long as it really is going down hill but saying that still is a lot better than other Sussex towns/cities.
Seaford - very quiet, nice pubs and countryside.
Worst Crawley- nothing good about Crawley. . .nothing.
Newhaven - very depressing.
Eastbourne - shame as it used to be nice 15-20 years ago but it's just a shithole now
Lewes - the people are strange funny handshakes and all that.

What's wrong with Uckfield - it's not that bad is it? Crowborough is surely worse.
Fully agree with the verdict that Crawley really belongs in Surrey...

Apparently Withdean and now Falmer, that’s until the small businesses realize what revenue they are (were) getting due to a tenant they didn’t want in their area

Best; from Steyning, Rottingdean, Ditchling, but probably top is Arundel
Worst; Littlehampton, Newhaven (both seem similar actually)

Nobody has mentioned Fishersgate (for worst obviously), also the area around East Worthing station is pretty dire
Best: I reckon Hove or Brighton seafront. I'm originally from Shoreham Beach which isn't bad quality of life wise but can be a little dull

Best is Steyning, home of the Strikers (runners up in some under-14 league in 1983). Worst is Peacehaven as they always had a really dirty team and loutish parents, when I played for the Strikers against them (and the place looked like a dump when we drove through it). Billingshurst Beavers were crap, as were Shoreham Boys but Durrington Dynamos were quite good.

Shoreham beach?! over-priced, no trees and it'll be underwater in 40 years time.

My mum lives there. Are your grandparents dogwalkers? There's a big dog walking scene up there, combined with the North Lancing Community Association, tell grandad to check their website. I had my car vandalised in Norbury Close by some old tart who objected to me parking somewhere that made it difficult for the senile old crone to get into her driveway. She poked it with some spiked walking stick. Never had any problems like that living in SW20 for years (apart having my number plates nicked). Sledging on the Downs there is top quality and Lancing's a top kite surfing location.

Surrey is great, lovely countryside and superb golf courses. I live up the road from North East Surrey crematorium, though I'm in Merton, which is fab (apart from the standard of the local footy team, though 5 promotions in 5 seasons isn't bad). I've even dated a Palace fan, whose entire family are Palace fans. We went to a couple of games at Selhurst Park, but it didn't last. Never did meet the prospective in-laws.
