When you're in London and you miss the sea,
you hop on a train and head to Brighton.
Being just one hour away by train {two by car},
Brighton is one of the best options for a day trip from London.
Here's why...
you hop on a train and head to Brighton.
Being just one hour away by train {two by car},
Brighton is one of the best options for a day trip from London.
Here's why...
The Pier
Standing there since 1823,
Brighton Pier is a time machine,
guaranteeing a quick trip back to the '50s & '60s.
The vintage shops, ice cream parlours & arcades
will give you a good dose of old fashioned fun.
The Beach
From toddlers to grandparents,
everyone loves Brighton beach.
It's the ideal destination to:
1. Throw pebbles in the sea & collect shells.
2. Have a romantic 'prosecco/sushi/watch the sunset' picnic.
3. Munch on fish & chips
while the kids run free on the beach.
The 'Take It Easy' Feel
Brighton is a city with an über cool feel.
From its outdoor cafes, which are always full,
to the seafront fish & chips shops,
everyone seems to take it easy
{at least easier than in London}.
Practical Brighton Info
London-Brighton train tickets start from £10.
If you go to Brighton by car beware:
parking is not easy on a sunny day.
Brighton's exotic/Russian-like Royal Pavilion
is certainly worth a visit.
That would not be the case of the Marina
{unless you're a fan of '70s commercial complexes}.
Best things for kids in Brighton:
the old boats at the seafront,
the fun fair on the pier & the Aquarium
{both quite costly}
or the free, new & very nice playground at the Level.
