Before setting off on a worldwide travel adventure, Brighton was my home for nearly 15 years. Brighton is around 1 hour from London on the train and is a beautiful seaside town with its own unique personality and style. There are as many pubs and bars as there are days in the year and every type of cuisine you can imagine from Korean to Mexican, Spanish to Indian and everything in between. I love Brighton and I know you'll love it too. Here's an in-depth guide to the perfect 24 hours in brilliant Brighton 🇬🇧 Included: vintage & boutique shopping recommendations, jewellery quarter, beachside venues, the best pubs & bars, 15 restaurant recommendations depending on your choice of cuisine, luxury hotels, breakfast spots, seaside favourites and things to see & do.

Brighton is an easy trip from London. You can do it on a day trip or a weekend break. Its a great place to get a feel for a typical UK seaside town. It became popular especially in the Victorian times when doctors would send their patients to the seaside for its health benefits. Its believed that the sound/ of water can relax our nervous system and a whole other list of things. I have included our regular spots and things we like to do when we go and where we usually stay. I have also included a day trip we did to Virginia Woolf's house which would be great when you've got more than one day in the area. This is probably a combo of a map/detailed guide as I've put a lot of information on each place card. Currently Includes: 5 activities, 2 running routes, 5 restaurants, 2 cake/cafe stops, our favourite health food/organic shop for snacks and our favourite hotel.
