London and the south-east
Brighton
The cosmopolitan resort of Brighton on the south coast provides a diverse mixture of regency heritage, traditional seaside fun and modern entertainment. The seafront is lined with numerous bars, cafés and restaurants.
Brighton is well known for its fascinating maze of 17th-century streets - the 'Lanes.' Here you will find an array of antique, jewellery and designer stores, along with a mix of quaint fisherman's cottages, pubs and restaurants, to suit all styles and tastes. There are three other main designated shopping areas that have a wide choice of high street stores to choose from.
The spectacular Royal Pavilion is another prominent feature in Brighton. Once the seaside palace of George VI, the Royal Pavilion is an exotic mix of Indian exterior and Chinese interior. It has to be seen to be believed.
Brighton is often called 'London by the sea' and this is borne out by its exciting, fast-paced lifestyle. Brighton prides itself on its nightlife. There are a large number of restaurants to choose from, offering all types of cuisine and with bars and nightclubs open every night of the week, there is something to suit every taste and pocket.
