So, you’re considering swapping city chaos (or countryside stillness) for sea breeze, indie cafés, and sunsets on the pebbles? Great call. Brighton & Hove isn’t just a place to live — it’s a lifestyle. Here’s a little peek into the good stuff waiting for you on the coast.

Brighton Palace Pier

Yep, it’s touristy. But it’s also charming in all the right ways. Whether you’re hosting mates for a weekend or taking a breezy post-work stroll, the pier’s always got the goods — arcade games, fresh doughnuts, sea views. No stress, just good vibes.

Royal Pavilion

Only in Brighton could you have a palace that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. A proper piece of history, and a bit of a show-off — but in the best way. A reminder that this city’s always done things a little differently.

Brighton Museum & Art Gallery

Feeling a bit arty? This one’s full of eclectic exhibits, bold fashion, and stories that make you proud to live in a place with so much character.

Brighton Beach

The pebble beach is a local icon. Whether you’re morning dipping, paddleboarding, or just grabbing a coffee and people-watching, it’s all happening here. And those sunsets? Genuinely unreal.

The Lanes

Winding alleyways full of vintage finds, tiny bars, tucked-away gems, and record stores. It’s part retail therapy, part treasure hunt — and it never gets boring.

i360

Fancy a bit of height with your house hunt? The views from this glass pod are wild. You’ll get the full sweep of Brighton, Hove, and the South Downs. Not essential — but definitely a “wow, I could live here” kind of moment.

SEA LIFE Brighton

Not just for kids. The lighting’s moody, the tanks are massive, and it’s a good shout when it’s raining. And yeah — it’s the oldest aquarium in the world. Brighton flexing again.

Volk’s Electric Railway

It’s cute, historic, and glides along the beach from the pier to the marina. A fun little bonus to life by the sea.

Brighton Dome

This isn’t a sleepy seaside town — culture’s everywhere. The Dome puts on everything from live music and comedy to theatre and talks. Plus, it’s just a stone’s throw from all the best pubs.

Undercliff Walk

One of our favourites. A quiet, stunning walk between Brighton Marina and Saltdean. Ocean on one side, cliffs on the other. Bring a coffee or a podcast — it’s a real “I could get used to this” moment.

Brighton & Hove After Hours – Nightlife Done Right

Once the sun dips, the city doesn’t slow down. Whether you’re into chilled pints or late-night dancing, there’s something for every kind of night.

• The Tempest (Brighton seafront): Beach bar meets cave vibes. A classic.

• Patterns (Brighton): DJs, rooftop hangs, and a solid party scene.

• The Mesmerist (The Lanes): Vintage, eclectic, always a good night out.

• Brighton Music Hall: Sundowners + live music = yes please.

• North Laine pubs: Craft beer, quirky interiors, and great people-watching.

And in Hove? Think relaxed wine bars, leafy beer gardens, and cocktail spots that feel like hidden gems. Same energy, just a touch more grown-up.

Why Brighton & Hove Just Hit Different

This isn’t your average move. It’s a lifestyle shift. You’re trading commutes for coastline, concrete for creativity, and chaos for character. There’s space to breathe, places to explore, and a real sense of community.
