This seaside town has stepped out of the shadow of its twin. One could say it was gentrifying, were it not built for the gentry

What’s going for it? St Leonards has come of age. For years, all talk has been of its elderly twin, Hastings, newly colonised by rat-race escapees, with their boutiques selling linocut prints or vintage eccles cakes. But slowly, to the west, its neighbour has been undergoing its own metamorphosis. It is very much yin to Hastings’ yang. Whereas Hastings’ Old Town is all higgledy half-timber and tattooed sea dogs, hipster or otherwise, St Leonards has from its birth been a refined, Regency place.

Never let tiny crustaceans into your mouth while diving most come equipped with pincers in some shape or form and it is a bugger to get them off your tongue if they decide to give it a nip.
