Overview of Hastings

Hastings is a borough and a town in East Sussex. It's situated in the South East of England about 53 miles (85km) from London and almost 87,000 people live there. Best known in most people's minds for the battle of 1066, the town has a rich history and yet also a modern air, with property to suit most tastes. Property for sale (postcodes TN34-37) is still largely affordable. You'll find beautiful period houses and more modern property for sale, many with stunning views of the coastline or the castle (the ruins of William the Conqueror's first stronghold in Britain). Hastings is well served for public transport. The bus service runs regularly, connecting houses in the three main parts of town and the wider county. There is a local train service connecting the smaller stations and linking to the main stations in the region. Hastings is on the National Express network for affordable coach travel. There are taxi and private cab hire companies in the town. The main shopping centre in Hastings is Priory Meadow, with plenty more shops in the town centre within walking distance of the majority of houses. The town has four museums, two cinemas (an Odeon and an independent) and many open spaces and parks that benefit residents and visitors.
