About Brighton
If you are thinking of relocating to Brighton, it has a lot to offer. Located on the south coast of England at 47 miles (around one hour) from London by train, Brighton’s heritage as a seaside town still shines through its tourist attractions and shopping culture. It truly offers the social life of the city with the natural beauty of the sea. The Royal Pavilion, rebuilt by John Nash in the 19th century, is one of the most eccentric and iconic features of the Sussex landscape; it was the Prince Regent’s leisure destination of choice during the Georgian era.
The Palace Pier is one of the UK’s longest-surviving pleasure piers, still replete with deck chairs, fish and chip shops and fairground rides. The shopping ‘Lanes’ are a warren of unique independent shops, steeped in creativity and hospitality. Brighton is widely accepted as the unofficial gay capital of the UK, owing to its large LGBT+ population, which makes up 15% of the population. Brighton has the highest number of civil partnerships registrations outside London, and the highest percentage of same-sex households.
