...are looking for reviews of Brighton pubs and nightclubs then I am sorry but you are reading the wrong review. You are not entirely out of luck however, as I know that there are a good few reviews of just such places only a couple of clicks away from here.
Apologies to the many of you who know the town and say; 'RICHADA you've left out this, that or the other' - I'm sorry, but this is MY review. I am sure that there are many interesting places not ...

Advantages: Lively, eccentric, varied Disadvantages: Expensive, considerable amounts of traffic
Recently granted city status, Brighton has traditionally had a reputation for being a destination for a convenient day-trip or a dirty weekend, but such fleeting visits barely do the area justice. Spread out along the coast, around 50 miles south of London's outer fringes, the city has enjoyed a rather successful decade of regeneration and growth. This has brought a number of new developments (with the long-standing promises of much more to come), ...

Advantages: Lively, Entertaining, Good food, Good beer Disadvantages: Can get busy
Brighton to many is London-by-the-sea to others the destination for a dirty weekend. I have lived in Brighton for over 20 years, I even tried to leave once but soon realised what a mistake I?d made! Over the years the Town (now officially a city) has outgrown these popular preconceptions and has developed into one of the liveliest centres for tourism, culture and entertainment in the south of England.

...‘surface’ so to speak.
At Brighton they have a brilliant underwater ‘Ocean’ tunnel. You can walk beneath the water and see all the fish swimming above and around you. It’s fascinating and well, I loved it.
The ‘blurb’ in the Guidebook tells you it’s a ‘fascinating expedition of discovery through the uncharted depths of the sea’ or something similar. But it truly is. You can see and ...

Accomondation wise in brighton, there are loads of hotels to choose from.
Location wise, Brighton is sorted. Its about an hour away from London, ...

...his practice from Lewes to Brighton to capitalise on his success. The treatment was not by any extent attractive. It involved a strict regime of rising early, bracing walks, obligatory bathing in the sea (immersion was compulsory) and also drinking the seawater at regular intervals during the day. Patients were offered the option of mixing it with milk if they found it unpalatable. Russell and his successors pretty much single-handedly invented the ...

...and a half days in Brighton and I still haven’t had enough, the weekend just flew. A few friends and I drove to seaside Brighton this weekend to soak up everything Brighton had to offer. There was Tony, Sharon and myself, my friend Tony owns a flat in Brighton and so he’s always going down they’re to spend the odd weekend, and so he asked us to come with him. We left London around 8.00pm and got to Brighton by about 10.30pm

town centre, I can't wait for the shopping. The atmosphere,
the shops, the eateries (if there is such a word) and
other such places.
It is more a student town more than anything and
with the mixture of the University of Brighton and
University of Sussex's students, the town is over run
with cool and interesting people. In Brighton, you get
every walk of life which is great coz when it comes
to going ...

...im not actually living in Brighton at the moment because im away at University, I do have a great loyalty and admiration for the place, which is why im writing this op. By the way, if you're wondering why im a uni student staying in to write opinions on a Friday night rather than being out "on the piss" with the lads, it's simply cos last night was extremely messy - I don't make a regular habit of staying in at weekend's! Anyway before I get sidetracked ...

Advantages: fun, unusual and full of things to do and see. Disadvantages: partly spoilt by bad planning, very poor train link.
Brighton is somewhere I’ve always tried to avoid. I associated it with Tory party conferences and fish and chips on the beach. My first trip to Brighton confirmed my original suspicions – a once great town blighted by bad taste, poor planning and naff amusements. A stroll along the seafront will provide enough examples of what I mean. A beautiful pier left to rot, whilst the ugly high rise block towers over its skeletal remains. The British ...

Brighton is in the sunniest part of England, making visits from June to September a gorgeous time to visit. It's during this time of year the city is packed with European tourists, foreign language students, English day trippers, motorcycle gangs, and South Coasters coming for a shop. The rest of the year it can be dark and dreary, with a constant down-pouring of rain. At times the rain seems ...

I decided not to get married again a prefer to live alone. I have only lived here for five months. The census shows that there are 155,000 people who live in the area.
Brighton is a wonderful place to live. It is on the English Cannel. As I said before it wasn't as big when I first moved here but has now become a popular resort.
I can always find something ...

Advantages: Lively,vibrant,cosmpolitan resort. Great dining out. Disadvantages: Can get crowded during the season
Brighton in Sussex is arguably the premier resort on England's south coast. It has a special place in the affection of Londoner's and is sometimes referred to as "London-by-the-Sea".
It is not hard to see why that title is applied to Brighton for it is a very cosmopolitan place which has long attracted media figures, artists, writer's, students, Londoners on day trips, and in recent years, a growing number of overseas students intent on learning ...

...on at Farringdon Tube Station. Brighton is full of sights, like The Pier, cool little shops, and easy to find clubs and pubs. The beach is just a short walk from the tube station, so you can begin your sight seeing and exploring there, on a sunny day it one of the best scenes I've ever experienced in England and if it's warm enough you can even go swimming. The reurn fare on the train is around £15, but you can also get a bus from Victoria from about ...
