Southwick sits quietly between the busier hubs of Brighton and Worthing, bordered by the South Downs to the north and the handled industry of Shoreham Port to the south. Life here tends to revolve around Southwick Square, a functional, open-air shopping precinct that has retained its local independent butchers and greengrocers alongside a useful library and community centre. The "Green" provides a focal point for the village, hosting occasional cricket matches and community events, while the railway station offers a straightforward ten-minute link into Brighton. It is a place shaped by its maritime history; the lock gates at Lady Bee Marina offer a vantage point to watch ships navigate the canal, and a walk across the locks leads directly to the pebble beaches. While the presence of the power station’s chimney is a permanent fixture on the skyline, it serves as a reminder of the area's working-class roots and its continued role as a practical, functioning coastal community.
