Insider Tips

  • 1

    Brighton is an easy 50-60 minute train from London Victoria — no need to drive, which also means you can enjoy the nightlife without worrying about parking or driving home.

  • 2

    The seafront is best in the early morning before the crowds: swim from the beach, have breakfast at one of the shore-side cafés, and the rest of the day is yours.

  • 3

    For the best Brighton dining, explore Hove's Church Road and the residential streets behind the seafront rather than sticking to the Lanes tourist circuit.

  • 4

    Brighton Pride in August is the UK's biggest Pride event and the city is absolutely packed — book accommodation a year in advance and budget for significantly higher prices.

  • 5

    The Royal Pavilion is essential, but book tickets online in advance; it's surprisingly small and visitor numbers are controlled to protect the interiors.
