I lived in Brighton for years but now live overseas. Thanks for the reminder of damp winter Sunday afternoons. Great pics – bought it all back!
I can almost smell the stale piss.
Were the seagulls still eating my donuts from Friday the robbing buggers!!
Since moving to Australia years ago I’ve come to realise the uk is a fantastic place, the grass isn’t always greener n all that crap, great pictures
Just come back from a weekend in Brighton! It was lovely 🙂
Did you see the starlings at sunset? The mumurations of starlings around the pier was my favourite part of the weekend!
It looks like the TARDIS. 🤷♀️
Brighton is usually heaving, these photos make it look super quiet!
Does every seaside town have an upside down house?
Fantastic town. Picture 1 has graffiti tag from 10 Foot.
I live here and appreciate your pics. Always nice to see an alternative view. Nothing new here but new angles. Nice!
Lived there during my undergrad at Sussex Uni (I’m from Luxembourg). Love Brighton 😎 Banging restaurants and pubs, can recommend Pronto I tavola (tiny pizzeria, best I ever had), Bay leaf for genuine indian food and ShanXi for the chinese soup enjoyers. 👌
I lived here as a student and miss it every day. Beautiful place, nowhere else quite like it
Almost didn’t believe you until the burnt pier just about snuck in at the end! Nice photos
This is a local town for local people.
Sister in law lives there were try and get down 3 or 4 times a year. Love walked on the damp wet stones with the kids.
I think the person parked on the double yellow lines would appreciate a line through their number plate .
My partner and I went to the pop up golden retriever cafe there today. It was awesome!
There is no way I would go there after they burned John to death.
Brighton basically is london.
You could have picked literally anywhere else in the UK…
Couldn’t have picked a worse day
I bloody love Brighton. Such a lovely place to be. I could potter around the Lanes all day.
I like Brighton because I have such a good memory of finishing Uni and all my mates meeting back up to get the train down to Brighton beach for a day and ending up with one person throwing a stone as high as they could into the air over the sea and the others trying to snipe it out the sky with other stones. Such a silly little memory but it felt like one of those last fleeting moments of young carefree-ness before everyone went in different directions for jobs and families.

Anyway, why aren’t our towns pretty though? There’s no ‘old town’ area of Brighton that has really picturesque buildings like many European countries. I was in Faro Portugal a few days ago which is a bog standard Portuguese town of 70,000 people but the old town area is beautiful. I’m from St Albans which is small for the UK, a nice place, and has the accolade of being one of the old roman cities, but it only has a tiny handful of buildings in the centre which are aesthetic.
Edinburgh is the most beautiful city in the UK in terms of architecture, and even that pales in comparison to your average European city.
Awesome city! 🙂
Now I’ve got Waiting For The 7:18 by Bloc Party stuck in my head.
🎵Let’s drive to Brighton on the weekend🎵
Ah, Brunswick Square. Beautiful place to live, but expensive to maintain. You had to repaint the building every few years (and it was Grade I Iisted so no avoiding it).
Did you get crabs?
Will always be my home away from! Thanks for the uni nostalgia trip!
Watch out for those seagulls. _They’ll flip ya… they’ll flip ya fo real_
You made it to way more spots than most down for a weekend
can’t look at these photos without remembering what misery it was, living and working in brighton for some many years.
but at least they had drugs.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve lived in Pacific Northwest for few decades since but always think of Brighton as the important place of my twenties. Many memories, fond and formative. The photos reminded me how much preferred this time of year was when fewer folk, just us residents (and those from ‘Hove Actually’), were about rather than the crowded summer months.
