For shopping enthusiasts, the North Laine is a must-visit, brimming with quirky boutiques, vintage stores, and independent art galleries, while The Lanes, with their narrow alleyways, charm visitors with jewelers, antiques, and cozy eateries.

Brighton is well-connected, making it easy to reach and navigate whether you’re arriving by train, coach, or car. Located just an hour south of London by rail, Brighton’s central station is served by regular trains from London Victoria, London Bridge, and St Pancras International, providing a quick and direct link to the capital. For international visitors, Gatwick Airport is just a 30-minute train ride away, while Heathrow Airport can be reached by a convenient coach or train journey.
If you’re travelling by coach, National Express operates services from London, Heathrow, and other major UK cities, typically arriving at Pool Valley Coach Station, a short walk from the beach and city centre. Driving to Brighton is straightforward, with the A23 linking it directly to London and the M25, while the A27 connects Brighton with towns along the south coast. However, parking in Brighton can be limited, especially in the city centre. Many visitors find it easier to park at one of the city’s Park & Ride locations or in one of the larger car parks outside the central area.
