Hove is a near neighbor of Brighton on the south coast of England. Brighton and Hove form a single conurbation, and in 2001 the two towns gained official recognition as the city of Brighton and Hove.
Hove is often referred to by locals as "Hove actually". This is because when a questioner asks a Hove resident whether they live in Brighton, they are usually met with the response "No, Hove actually!" This is because Hove is seen as a more desirable location.
