Brighton makes for a great day trip from London. Just under an hour away from the UK capital by train, the city of Brighton is easily accessible and a great escape.
Brighton is on the southern coast of England, and is famous for its rocky beach, the quirky amusement-park pier, and the beautiful Regency-style Brighton Royal Pavilion.
Brighton is also known for the great shopping that can be found in The Lanes, a set of tiny streets packed full of boutiques and stores. There are also plenty of restaurants in The Lanes where visitors can have a meal or a snack.
In addition to sightseeing and shopping, Brighton is famous for its great nightlife and vibrant gay and lesbian scene. Pubs, bars, and clubs in Brighton are known throughout the country, and people visiting the UK often stop there to drink and dance the night away.
Brighton is also famous for the annual Brighton Festival, which takes place every May. The festival is a three week extravaganza of music, theatre, and performances. It is one of the best times of year to visit Brighton, but things get booked up quickly, so make your travel arrangements well in advance.
