A Day in Brighton

"In Brighton any man can sing anything—well, almost anything—in any language he knows." Anon, British Alderman

Brighton is a famous seaside city in county of East Sussex, England, and is famous for being the hippest city in the United Kingdom. Brighton is also known as the gay capital of the U.K. for holding the largest LGBT community in the country. 


What's there to do? Let's find out...


Morning: Check out the Diva Espresso & Sandwich Bar located at James St. for their perfect espresso and budget friendly delicious English breakfast. The cafe is run by Maria and Benji who are courteous, polite and know how to give you a homely feel. Once done, get around to visit a few antique shops (British antiques are lovely!). Afterwards, visit the Brighton Pier. Also known as the Palace Pier, it's a great place to enjoy rides, eat crepes and ice-creams, make money in the slot machines and a lot more.

Afternoon: Brighton Wheel is a Ferris wheel situated quite close to the pier. The ferris wheel will give you an aerial view of the city on one side and sea on the other. Since Brighton gives you feel of a typical English town with a fashionable culture, I'd suggest you to spend quite a lavish time on shopping. A hub of narrow lanes called The Lanes will keep you occupied with the displays to attract you. Lanes are also a great place to explore your interest in music and books. 

Evening: Brighton is full of live theatres, pubs and nightclubs and other places known for drama and/or music. Since I fancy Jazz, my personal favourite place is Casablanca, truly known for its live acts of Jazz.

Night: Interesting time in Brighton a day keeps the boredom away. After the spectacular time you had in Brighton, it's time for Travel Expresso to wish you good night. We hope it helps you pack your bags to visit the city sometime soon. Sweet dreams!!

  1. Brighton sounds like quite the interesting place! I know I would like to take a ride on that ferris wheel. I'm sure it would be an amazing view and time! The day you planned out sounds wonderful, especially the Shopping Lane, where you can find cool books and music.

    Interesting Post!

  2. This is one of the places my friend and I wanted to go to the last time we were in England. All the trains were sold out so we had to stay put. Brighton is definitely still on the bucket list.

  4. I've only been to England once for 12 hours while I waited for a flight. It was great to visit even for a short time and only to see London. I have to travel back there one day. I'm looking forward to seeing other cities like Brighton.
