Brighton in General Reviews

Brighton is genuinely one of those English tourist destinations that can fall under the banner of being 'all things to all men'. The diversity of its entertainment, its population and its architecture make it a constantly changing environment to visit time and time again; its long history and plentiful museums and grand architectural ...  Read the complete review

If you are reading this review, you can't have failed to notice that there are another 30+ reviews of this town. I can't claim that mine will be better, and hopefully it won't be worse, but it is my opinion and my review, so I hope it will be of some use. I am an ex-Brighton resident and I still hold the place in high regard. ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday, my boyfriend, his father, my daughter and I decided to visit Brighton. From Eastbourne this was only a short 30 minute drive, there are also bus services regularly from Eastbourne town centre that we have used before, which cost £5.50 return for an adult . Now, it was raining when we went yesterday, so perhaps we ...  Read the complete review

The last time I was in Brighton was a few years ago. There are several ways of getting there. One can take the train or take the car for instance. I went by car. Upon arriving in Brighton, what immediately caught my attention is the architecture. Compared to other seaside resorts around the world, the architecture in Brighton is poor. ...  Read the complete review

Just a short train ride from the rather more hecitc and stress-inducing London, Brighton is London's more relaxed and fun sister. After having lived in Brighton for fours years as a student, I would argue it is the perfect place to spend time, doing...well not much. Trains leave twice hourly from London Victoria's ...  Read the complete review

Although im not actually living in Brighton at the moment because im away at University, I do have a great loyalty and admiration for the place, which is why im writing this op. By the way, if you're wondering why im a uni student staying in to write opinions on a Friday night rather than being out "on the piss" with the ...  Read the complete review

When my friend told me she was taking me to Brighton for my hen weekend, my heart sank. You see, I’m just not the type for plastic souvenirs, the “British seaside” and kiss-me-quick hats. However, the main thing I would advise anyone is “Leave your preconceptions at home”!! Brighton is far, far ...  Read the complete review

After 10 years living in Cheshire, I'd kinda forgotten about the clean air that smells salty and stays with you all day. I'd forgotten about the pebbles and activity of our Southern gem. This weekend, my boyfriend (Bob Barley) visited Brighton, my homeland. Originally, the trip was planned for the purpose of seeing ...  Read the complete review

We decided to spend a winter weekend in Brighton. We booked a room at a guest house on New Steine St, less than 50 metres from the sea front. It had been quite a while since I was last in Brighton so I was really looking forward to our weekend away. The drive from the M25 to the M23 then the A23 went smooth with no hold ups ...  Read the complete review

With a view to a move and a new environment took the train to Brighton for a day out and recce. The first thing that entices you to this eclectic town is the high spacious airy welcoming station. It’s a hum of foreign dialect and expectation. Stations are always nice when theres only one destination and one platform. The exit ...  Read the complete review

Nigel Richardson, in his superb book “Breakfast in Brighton” describes the town, oops, city, as not so much a place but a state of mind. I was born in Brighton, as was my father, and many previous generations winding back several hundred years. It remains for me the most satisfying, enigmatic, subversive and unusual place in ...  Read the complete review

I'm not sure whether this op really ought to be in this section os whether it should be in the section entitled "Travel for the scatter-brained" but failing to find that, here it goes. To start at the beginning, it was my dearly beloved's birthday a couple of weekends ago. His two best mates were sunning ...  Read the complete review

If you come to visit Brighton do stray a little further along the coast to the other half of Brighton and Hove, Hove actually! Not quite so hip hop or load as Brighton but certainly quieter and with quite abit to offer. Parking is not too bad, some free off street parking still remains especially to us in the know but the ...  Read the complete review

The Pavilion was done in a Romantic Movement style. This was against his strict rich up bringing. And also against the Neo-Classical movement, which was about bringing ideas by the Romans and Greeks back to life. It was about maths, shapes, and symmetry. The Romantic Movement was about having fun and enjoying life. This got started by ...  Read the complete review

Brighton is 1.5 hours from London. It is very nice city. Especially I like the ocean view there. I stayed in a sea view hotel. Service was not good there but we enjoyed the ocean view in hotel especially in the morning. There are a lot of nice piers in Brighton. One of them constructed as a casino. There is also a restaurant, a lot ...  Read the complete review

The smell of squishy caramel coloured leather lingers in my nostrils to this day. The polished walnut dashboard: the steering wheel the size of a vinyl album: the stumpy gear stick with the leather knob. My brother and I are sitting behind our parents, on a cold, bright, frosty winter’s Sunday, in the back seat of their maroon 3.4 ...  Read the complete review

Whenever I got to visit my boyfriend down in Brighton, Mouselcoomb, which is 3 minutes away from Brighton town centre, I can't wait for the shopping. The atmosphere, the shops, the eateries (if there is such a word) and other such places. It is more a student town more than anything and with the mixture of the University of ...  Read the complete review

To even attempt to condense the wonders of Brighton within a few short paragraphs is an impossibilty. Does one start with the fabulous array of trendy bars scattered around the town or the huge range of restaurants suiting all tastebuds and purse strings? Brighton is a town where you do not need to plan your day, simply grabbing a ...  Read the complete review

>All year. >All ages. Brighton the once noble fishing village, then the rich meeting place made by Dr. Russell’s where there is a plate in memory of him saying,” In memory to Dr Russell’s if you want to see his momrial look around. Brighton spans from Quite Hove to somewhere East. The place for all the ...  Read the complete review
