Langstone is a village near Havant, Hampshire in the southeast of England. There are many large gated detached houses on the main road, "Langstone Road" and on the roads surrounding this. It has a sailing club, several architecturally unusual buildings, and several historically significant buildings, including a converted (water) millhouse and a converted 18th century windmill, the latter of which is a local landmark. Modern maps show it as the northern end of the bridge to Hayling Island.
