Hanover, Brighton

Hanover is an area within the city of Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom.

[2] The exact boundaries of the neighbourhood of Hanover are generally thought of as the area running up the hill to the east of the Level, towards Queen's Park Road, bounded on the north by Elm Grove and on the south by Sussex Street.

[3] Physically, Hanover is principally a very steep hill, lined with streets of tightly packed Victorian cottages.

Its population includes many commuters (Brighton railway station is 15 minutes' walk away), academics, public servants and numerous students – due in part to the University of Brighton Halls of Residence by the site of the former Phoenix Brewery.

This led rise to the active community group Cats of Hanover.
