Hove
Hove is where Brighton went to lie down in a quiet room and have a lemon drizzle. It is the half of the city that owns a Le Creuset in a colour it can name, watches its neighbour vomit into a bin on the seafront at half past two, and quietly closes the sash window. The Regency terraces have been standing since well before anyone's grandmother met a sourdough starter, and they are not impressed by yours.
