"A skateboarder with boat shoes and ray bans personifies Brighton"
Brighton is edgy and cool and the epicentre of a flamboyant gay culture. Gorgeous Georgian townhouses line the seaside and magnify the rich artistic lifestyle behind the closed doors.
A late start to the day and an hour on the tube left us only the afternoon to spend in Brighton. We had a few complications getting our road trip underway the fuel and toilet stops set us back slightly but just over an hour in the car and we arrived at the seaside escape. Unfortunately everyone else in London had the same idea, leaving Brighton Pier swarming with people.
It is well known that Brighton is best enjoyed with fish and chips on the sand-free beach. We found a local fish and chip shop and hurried with our bundled paper parcels to the pebbled beach. I haven't had fish and chips since I have been in the UK so there was huge excitement for some salty chips smothered in sauce by the seaside.
The lanes in Brighton showcase an eclectic array of shops from boutiques to maze like vintage stores. It is easy to get lost amongst the tangle of back streets that revealed this tiny jam packed candy store and amazing art stores.
Behind some streets we found amazing street graffiti.
