About Worthing

Worthing is increasingly attractive as a Brighton alternative — similar seaside lifestyle, better value, and less hectic. The town has a growing tech and creative sector, good schools, and a strong community feel. Property is significantly cheaper than Brighton, particularly for family homes. The South Downs access is a major lifestyle bonus.

Lifestyle & Things to Do

Worthing is undergoing a quiet renaissance. Once seen as sleepy, the town now has a thriving independent food scene, regular markets, and a growing creative community. The Victorian pier, Connaught Theatre, and seafront promenade are classic English seaside. The South Downs National Park starts just north of the town. Worthing has excellent parkrun and cycling communities.

Worthing Station connects to London Victoria and London Bridge in about 1h 15m. The A27 coast road links to Brighton (20 minutes) and Chichester. The A24 heads north to the M25. Gatwick Airport is about 45 minutes.
