Brighton

Visit Brighton

Brighton & Hove is the UK's favourite seaside resort but it's so much more than that.

An hour away from London, the biggest city in the South East is home to countless events and festivals, arts venues, cafés, bars, hotels, famous people, pebbles, alleyways as well as a large LGBT community, the first Green MP of the country, two universities, a nudist beach, a football stadium and one and a half piers.

The major part of the city consists of Brighton, with around 155,000 people of the total population of 251,000 (which is why most people just say Brighton when they refer to the city). The two large towns of Brighton and Hove were joined to form the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove in 1997 as part of the millennium celebrations in 2000.

Major landmarks in Brighton & Hove include The Royal Pavilion, Brighton Marine Palace and Pier (long known as the Palace Pier), the West Pier, Volk's Electric Railway, the newly built Brighton Wheel and of course the pebbly beach.
