Walking the streets of London & Brighton (often referred to as “London by the Sea” due to its creative and diverse energy) exposes you to a kaleidoscope of fleeting moments into these two very different but similar cities.
These street images are just a very generalized tongue tip taste of the flavours you can expect to savour when visiting these two dynamic destinations.
London’s Palaces, Cathedrals, Galleries, Museums, Theatres, unrivaled International Retail and its fantastic restaurants, all contribute to this being the most visited city in the world – and Brighton is now the UK’s most visited Seaside Town,
Brighton lies on the coast about 75km south of London. Although there is proof of settlement in the area from as early as Roman and Anglo Saxon periods, it was only in the Georgian era that it was developed into a fashionable seaside resort town when King George IV constructed the Royal Pavilion. It takes about an hour and a half to get to Brighton by rail from London and on an average day there are over 300 trains running between the two – back and forth.
Although Brighton is famous for its Pier and Beach, as well as the Royal Pavilian and the more recent BAi360 glass viewing pod tower, you cannot go to Brighton and not spend time in The Lanes – this historic quarter of the city which consists of a network of narrow lanes famous for its mass of independent furniture, collectable shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Its here that you are bound to find that something special and unique to take home from your UK trip.
