Hove

This article is about the English town of Hove. For other uses see Hove (disambiguation).

Hove is a next-door neighbour of Brighton, on the south coast of England. Brighton and Hove form a single conurbation, and in 2000 the two towns gained official recognition as the city of Brighton & Hove.

Hove's wide boulevards are a retreat from the bustle of Brighton. Hove is seen by some as a more desirable location and it is often referred to by locals as "Hove actually". This is because when a questioner asks a Hove resident whether they live in Brighton, they are reputedly met with the response "No, Hove actually!". This is because Hove is seen as a more desirable location, and its residents are keen to point out that it is not simply a part of Brighton.
