Mile Oak is the locality forming the northern part of the parish of Portslade in Brighton and Hove, in the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove, England. [1]
Mile Oak is on the edge of the South Downs and as such has much farmland nearby; the Monarch's Way and Sussex Border Path long-distance footpaths skirt the edge of the built-up area. The first urban development occurred after the Second World War, and the area grew substantially in the 1960's when Copperas Gap dockside dwellings were demolished. The inhabitants were rehoused to an the area North of Portslade old village. Mile Oak has been intersected by the A27 dual carriageway since the 1980s which has somewhat cut off the community from the rural surroundings.
Local amenities include Mile Oak's own football club, a public library, The Mile Oak Inn public house and Mile Oak Farm.
