Brighton
Classic British beach town with creative flair
Outside London, South
Classic British seaside charm meets quirky energy in this vibrant coastal city. Walk along the pebbled beach, visit the Palace Pier, and tour the exotic Royal Pavilion. For shopping, explore the narrow alleys of The Lanes (map) for jewellery and gifts, or head to nearby North Laine (map) for vintage shops and bohemian flair. There’s a lively arts scene and plenty of spots for fish and chips with a sea view.
Tip: Want a swim with sea views? Head to Sea Lanes on the seafront – it’s a heated open-air pool right by the beach, open year-round. Make sure to book ahead (http://www.sealanesbrighton.co.uk)
