High Street

Street guide, Littlehampton

The main commercial street in Littlehampton, running through the town centre from the junction with Surrey Street towards the river. The High Street is the traditional heart of the town's retail and service offer, lined with shops, cafes, banks, charity shops and professional offices. The street has experienced the same pressures as high streets across England, with some vacancies and a shift towards service businesses and charity shops. Market stalls appear on set days, and the street is the focus of events including the carnival parade and the Christmas lights switch-on. The pedestrian areas and the street furniture have been improved in recent years, and the atmosphere on a busy shopping day remains lively.
