We are spending the day in Brighton, the vibrant and eclectic coastal city located in the south of England. Known for its iconic pier, stunning seafront, and lively culture, Brighton is a destination that has something for everyone. The city is a melting pot of creativity, with a vibrant arts scene, trendy boutiques, and world-class restaurants. Brighton's unique charm and lively energy make it an ideal destination for a day trip or a longer stay. We had such a lovely day and can't wait to visit agai.

Did you see the Volks Electric Railway? Worlds first electric railway opened in 1883. Runs 1.25 miles along the sea front. With roling stock dating back to 1901. At one time it ran through the sea to Rottingdean. But a combination of storm damage. Alongside new sea defences that would have ment moving it into deeper water. Killed off that section, I dont think health and safety rules would allow an electric railway in the sea now. If you know where to look you can find some relics of that section.

I discovered Brighton in 1991 when I was working as a flight attendant for Delta and instead of laying over in London that week we stayed in Brighton. I loved it! Went back on my own and then decided to live there for 3 years. Really friendly city and it was a fab change from Nyc! I need to move BACK to Brighton soon! And the West pier is a sentimental piece of history to many Brightonians. My boyfriend watched it burn down twenty years ago.😊

The Lanes are 100% part of the vibe. Friday/Saturday on the main road from the rail station can be chaos (clubs/bars) but the whole of Brighton has managed to keep a great balance of classic UK seaside, bars, clubs, amazing pubs, indie shopping, and genuine culture, which is rare. It’s a jewel of UK seaside.

I have such fond memories of the West Pier. When I was a young child in the 1950s we lived in Hove (just a mile or so to the west of Brighton). Money was tight, so when the sun shone my mother and I would walk to the West Pier, sit in the fresh air and watch the sea gulls nicking everyone's chips! Great days!

I was born in Brighton nearly 68 years ago, and many of my Brighton ancestors go back hundreds of years. I have a huge fondness for my home town and its history, but I no longer live there. Changes have sadly made living in much of Brighton unbearable. Unless you have money and can afford to live in the nice areas, the cheaper parts have become intolerable. However, I have great memories of a happy childhood, youth, and early married life in Brighton.

Fun fact: the Brighton West Pier features briefly in a montage in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once so it's iconic enough for that amazing film! Also the slide is called a "helter skelter" - often found at fairgrounds and beach resorts - you typically slide down them on a burlap sack and pray to avoid friction burns.

I visited Brighton in September on my first proper solo trip and fell in love with it. Everyone was wonderful despite my awkwardness of having to explain that I was on my own. It included taking a severely delayed train from the borders down to London then switching. I was knackered by the time I got there 😂 I then done a couple days in London which I'm far more familiar with. I always say that I'd go back more often if I didn't live so far away.

If anyone is wondering what happened to the west pier, in 1975 it was closed forever due to a severe arson attack, which burnt it down to metal, since then it has been hit by waves which have caused erosion, damaging it further. My old Next door neighbor, who sadly passed away, was on the pier when it was burnt down. Prior to this, it had been severely damaged during WW2 which damaged a lot of the infrastructure, I hope this helped.

Lovely here innit. I could well have bumped into you down the seafront this morning. The people along this section of the coast are really quite friendly and tolerant. You visit here you might get a wrong impression of what most Brits are like. LOL, with a slight lament underneath. The only problem with Brighton are the beaches (he says shaking his head). I'm from a place that has proper sandy beaches.....unfortunately, Northumbria has colder weather. Always a fly in the ointment eh?

Brighton's North Lanes are good with a bit more music and alternative style accents. Plus Brighton is a funny old city with cool places tucked away and semi hidden. The stables for the Royal Pavilion has been converted into a venue and is called the Brighton Dome.

Brighton is one of the coolest cities in Britain...such good vibes. I live in Southsea along the South Coast in Portsmouth which I would recommend! I'm originally from a town called Lytham St Annes which is a gorgeous Victorian seaside resort and 10 minutes up the coast is Blackpool! You should try Blackpool...its one of the corniest, cheesiest places in the UK! Do go to Lytham St Annes though for the genteel lifestyle.

It's the Isle of Wight you can sometimes see from Brighton. The Isle of Wight has the Uks oldest pier, which was opened in 1814. Not much on it really other than a ferry terminal and a train station at the end of it

Brighton is famous for two things. Dirty weekends and the Mods vs Rockers battle of 1964. (Mods rode motor scooters while Rockers rode proper motorbikes).

Ah it is so lovely that you visited my home!!! I love living in Brighton. British people often comment that there isn’t really anywhere else like it in the UK. I’d say Bristol is the place that comes the closest… If you come back, you have to go to the seafront and try an ice cream from Marocco’s. EVERYONE knows it and in the summer the queues are huge. Brighton is famous across the UK for being a place that is not only incredibly socially liberal but also has managed to maintain a good balance between the old and the new. You have the Laines and we don’t have any out-of-town retail parks spoiling the views. You definitely get the best of all worlds with the sea and London not being far away. Only downside is that it is massively expensive. We pay London prices but don’t get a London salary.

An excellent video. With your love of music and films, Brighton was used for the excellent Quadrophenia movie by The Who. There are iconic scenes from such that you could have stood at. Something for another day when it is warmer!

You should have visited the North Laines (close to South Laines) as well - the shops there are more bohemian and somewhat cheaper! Love the channel.
