Lancing

Lancing is a civil parish and village in West Sussex on England's south coast. The settlement spreads across residential neighborhoods, open spaces, and coastal access points, with the seafront featuring the distinctive Lancing Lido, a 20th century leisure building that shapes the local waterfront.

Lancing grew from a small village into a residential settlement during the 19th century as industrialization transformed the region. The Lido was built in the 1920s and represents the shift toward coastal leisure and bathing culture that shaped the settlement's modern identity.

The village is well served by public transport, with bus routes and rail links to nearby towns and cities. The Lido and beaches are within easy walking distance, and parking is available near the main attractions.

The Lido is an example of the type of building that emerged on English coasts in the 1920s when open-air bathing became fashionable. This structure reflects a time when visitors could enjoy organized seaside leisure in a purpose-built setting.
