I was in London and felt that I had to get away, out of the city. And Brighton is only 1 inch away on the map. Brighton is your classic British seaside resort.

Brighton is ever so British, a classic Seaside town. You can spend days wandering up and down the promenade (seafront). If the sun is shining (and it was every day I was there), then go down to the beach. But remember, there is more to seaside towns than the sea. Take time to explore inland. Seaside towns are full of odd little shops, selling the most peculiar items. Brighton is definitely the south’s number 1 seaside resort and a firm favourite throughout the country.

Quick Tips:

Being a classic British seaside town, you must conform to the rules of this prestigious title; eat ice cream, candyfloss and fish and chips (in abundance). And spend all your money on those coin games (where you win coins, by putting coins in?).

Best Way To Get Around:

If you don’t explore this place on foot, you will miss a great deal. Turn your back on the seafront and pick any street. You will find it winds in and out of other streets, each one filled with weird and wonderful shops.
Clean, friendly and funky. All the usual services provided. The place is a little small, but that makes it more cosy. A really great hostel.
