A family-friendly residential district around a five-road junction north of Preston Park, known for its independent shops and village feel. BN1.
Fiveways is the popular residential district named after the five-road junction where Ditchling Road meets Preston Drove and Hollingbury Road, on the rising ground north of Preston Park. It is one of Brighton's most family-oriented neighbourhoods, known for its friendly village atmosphere and its row of genuinely useful independent shops.
The small parade around the junction includes a butcher, a greengrocer, bakeries, cafes and a well-known community bookshop, and the area runs its own popular Fiveways Artists' open-house events each year. The streets of bay-fronted Edwardian houses are sought after by families drawn to the local schools and the easy walk to Preston Park station and the open Downs beyond.
