124 by Guesthouse, Burnt Orange and Embers Buzzy, dynamic and quirky, Brighton is a city that lives up to the hype.
And first up is the Lanes, a five minute walk south of the station: a higgledy-piggledy collection of winding streets that was part of the original fishing village of Brighthelmstone, and today is home to some of its trendiest shops.
Most of its 11.47m yearly visitors come to see the famous pier, eat ice cream on the sea-front and visit the Brighton Pavilion.
If you’re feeling flush, try your luck at the 2p slot machines; if not, just watch people have a go on the rollercoaster rides at the pier’s end.
124 and top-notch restaurants like Embers and Pearly Cow opening in the city, it’s on the up yet again.
