Directly opposite The Stade open space, The London Trader is a firm favourite of anyone who enjoys a pub that’s a little rough around the edges, but still oozes friendly vibes. There’s a pretty standard set of draft offerings and no food menu.
Plenty of outside seating means you can happily watch the Old Town world go by on a sunny afternoon, and (of course) dogs are welcome as ever.
The London Trader loves live bands and there are regular jam and open mic nights as well as full bands most weekends (often with sets in the afternoon).

An amble down George Street is a must-do on your visit to Hastings. The narrow pedestrian street links the old town with the seafront. You’ll find fabulous independent shops, restaurants and cafes. Stop for coffee, find a window seat and watch the quirky world of Hastings go by.
