24 Hours in Brighton! DIDN'T GO TO PLAN!

[@seebunlim]

Thanks

[@TravelWithBen121]

Wow! Thank you so much for the support! 😁

[@seebunlim]

I was wondering why everyone wrote ‘Waterloo” in their comments until I reached the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Lovely video!!! Gave me nostalgia. I went to Brighton a couple of times when I was working in London and I absolutely loved the place. I did manage to go to the palace. It’s absolutely gorgeous (the decor made me feel like I went back centuries in time) and gave some history about the King who had some genetic disorder if I recall correctly. I loved the pier as well. I got hooked on a ‘toy-grabber’ thingy and ended up spending %£50 to get a tiny teddy bear!! 😂. The fish and chips at the pier were quite yummy. Not being as adventurous (or fit!) I didn’t explore as much as you did so I’m happy you showed us so many more places. Thank you for being kind to people in general.. I believe kindness goes a long way and you never know when someone is having a bad day and your kindness makes their day better! Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@TravelWithBen121]

Thanks for watching until the end! Brighton is great, definitely close enough to go there for the day from London. I think the crane machines in the arcade are fixed so you can't win 🤣 well you can win but not often! I'll try fish and chips on the pier next time!, Captain's was just okay! I 100% believe kindness goes further than rudeness. No doubt about it. We're all just trying our best to get through each day, let's all be kind! Next adventure coming soon 😁

Thank you, Vikki! :)

Ben, you've made me feel very old! Not only was I watching Eurovision the night ABBA won (although I was very young at the time), but Quadrophenia (a film you've never even heard of!) is one of my favourite films of all time. I love Brighton and go there often, which is easy for me as I live only a 40 minute drive away. In fact, I'll be going there either tomorrow or Saturday to do some photography and to get some sea air! A favourite area is North Laine, which you didn't show in the video. It's FULL of cool bars, pubs, cafés, restaurants, quirky shops and vintage markets. If you've never been, make sure you go next time! As you leave the station, head towards the beach, but take the first turning on the left that you come to and head downhill. All the various streets that make up the North Laine area will be on your right. They carry on towards the main road (the High Street?). Nice video mate! 😊

[@TravelWithBen121]

Cheers, Andy! Brighton is great, definitely worth taking the train from London for the day. I don't know anything about The Lanes so I got a bit lost, I'll check out the North Laine area next time!

💃 WATERLOO .... 'ABBA' Ben, suprised us that young people like you knows ABBA, our dad (late) loved & introduced ABBA to us and ABBA became one of our favourite (then) ❤ THANKS for bringing back 'memories' of our own family holidays there many years ago. our family stayed there for a month for our sister graduation at a University (there) It's more 'lay back' compared to busy & vibrant LHR all year round. the stoney beach there totally different from our 🇲🇾 sandy beach 😂 our dad (late) enjoyed most was museums including the Naval museum in Plymouth ..... 😊 Happy for you that you got that spectacular view room, ALSO like the way you promote 'kindness' (your usually kind nature) despite of 'disappointed moments' 😂 we too planning visiting 🇯🇵 .... ( no more travelling/visit 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 ) Stays SAFE & HAPPY in all your travel Shalom from 🇲🇾 2024April05th, Fri

[@TravelWithBen121]

Thank you, Nicole! I love ABBA :) Classics are always good! Brighton definitely has a 'laid back' feel to it but the summer can be crazy! The room I got was great, no need to complain or shout, it's not the end of the world :) I can't wait to return to Japan! Thanks for watching!

Waterloo. Hi Ben, enjoyed this video of your stay in Brighton. With your Hotel room situation you proved the old saying true of "The Third Time Is The Charm". Hope you didn't have to pay to extra money as that room was quite a bit more than your original room.

[@TravelWithBen121]

Cheers, Ben! No extra charge for the room upgrade!

ABBA didn’t win the Eurovision Song Contest singing Waterloo at the Brighton Centre, as it only opened in 1977. They won it at the Brighton Dome in 1974 which is part of the building where the museum is near the pavilion.

[@TravelWithBen121]

Great!

[@j.d.macdonald1575]

Waterloo Thanks for the information. I will be disembarking a cruise in Southampton at the end of April and will be staying in Brighton for two nights. This video was helpful.

[@TravelWithBen121]

Sounds great! Enjoy your cruise and enjoy Brighton :)

[@Madelinechriston]

Hi Ben, I just found and subscribed to your channel and I’m enjoying it very much! I don’t get to travel much, but if I ever did, I would definitely check to see if you were available as a tour guide by then. I’m from Staten Island New York by the way, and worked in Midtown Manhattan for 10 years. We do call them “Bumper cars” here in the states lol. I used to live in Brooklyn, so my family used to go to Coney Island quite often. Our arcades look just like yours do, and PAC Man is now considered one of the retro games, like Donkey Kong, and Space invaders. We do call your candy floss cotton candy. And, at one time we had a chain eatery called Arthur Teachers fish and chips, but sadly, most if not all of them, have since gone. Thank you so much for your fun and interesting videos. I’m looking forward to watching😊

[@TravelWithBen121]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing, Madeline! I’ve taken the Staten Island ferry just for fun but then I took it straight back 😂 I love NYC! I have a few videos from there if you didn’t watch them already. Thanks again! 😁

[@non-wx8qm]

What was the cost of the train London to Brighton and the return? How many hours was the trip? Are there commercial busses that do the same?

[@TravelWithBen121]

London to Brighton on the train is around 1 hour and costs 15 pounds. There are busses but no one takes the bus, no need to when the train is three times as fast.

[@longwood2001]

Beautiful place, Ben. Makes me want to visit. 😊

[@TravelWithBen121]

It's better in the summer! 🤣

[@HitTheRoadMike]

Nice video, keep up the good work. £15 for fish and a tiny portion of chips is insane

[@TravelWithBen121]

I agree, Mike! I think I counted 20-25 chips HAHA the fish was great but I wouldn't recommend it. Thank you for watching!

[@non-wx8qm]

Take us to Southampton next. I've know it as a cruise ship terminal. How about a trip to Cambridge and Oxford? Take us around the, "unni" campus. 😁

[@TravelWithBen121]

I've never been to Cambridge or Oxford so that would be fun 😁

It's as if I was walking next to you in B-right-on 😁I really enjoyed this video, you have a nice voice to listen to while explaining and babbling. I'm relieved and happy for you you won the Globalls game 😂 You made me laugh out loud. Thank you for being funny 😉Imagine you would have lost... 🤣 Quite an impressive indoor mini - glow in the dark golf center. Would love to know what you told us in Chinese though. I speak only 5 languages and Chinese is 遗憾的是 not one of them 😋 With the room, well, ... third time's the charm and like you know .. a smile, a good sense of humour and being friendly gets you everywhere Didn't realize Brighton is not that far from London, so next time I'll definitely take that train, thank you for all the info. And hey ... Waterloo, who wouldn't love a good Abba song (depends on who's singing, isn't it) That seagull in the end .. no ticket.. 😂 Anyway, looking forward to your next video, maybe you should write a book too 😇🤪(Sunny, I wish) greetings from Antwerp

[@TravelWithBen121]

Thank you, Sabine! HAHA I try not to babble too much but I like to explain as much as I can. I definitely won mini golf 🤣 Chinese is for another day! Brighton is definitely close enough to London to take a day trip, only 1 hour on the train. I have many ideas for travel books, maybe coming soon 😁 Thank you for watching from Antwerp! (I've driven through Belgium but never stopped)

Waterloo, do you know who you are talking to? It’s Ben from London Town, please don’t frown because he’s been showing you on the town of Brighton, where you never want to be barefoot 🦶 on the beach because it will hurt like a bitch, so don’t be a snitch, keep your pain to yourself and never go barefoot again! That was so dumb, but I never claimed to a poet, I try to never show it.
