Langney is a distinct part of Eastbourne, East Sussex and is on the eastern side of the popular seaside resort.
Langney proper - the 'Long Island' - thus refers to the higher part i.e. where the shopping centre now is.
It was built by Cluniac monks from the very much larger Priory of St Pancras at Lewes.
As of 2017[update] the Langney ward was held by the Liberal Democrats[3] and represented by Cllrs Harun Miah, Alan Shuttleworth and Troy Tester at Eastbourne Borough Council and Cllr Alan Shuttleworth at East Sussex County Council.
Langney Sports Club provides a centre for archery, snooker and darts as well as two bars.
