Travel Info Brighton - Expensive? Niceplace to live? Lots of shops etc etc? Travel Tips Brighton? gay is what Brighton is, fine if you are gay, not fine if you are straight! Others IT SUCKS! ! ! ! ! ! It is awesome, partys every weekend, orgies every corner, hot chicks everywhere, corpses in every closet, free beer every thursday night, free taco night on Tuesdays, you will love it. hull without the bridge Compared to Hull? Hugely expensive. No, I mean it, in every respect from property down to a bag of potatoes, it is hugely dear. Nice place, well it's sunnier. Shops? Lots of them,but see first answer. Finally, it is full, crammed jammmed, overflowing, with the sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of Arthur Daly. Expect to be taken for very many well intentioned rides. Keep your wallet as well closed as us northerners are supposed to. In fact, pretend you are a Scot!! It is a fun, cosmopolitan place with lots to do. The shops are great, the ones in "The Lanes" are really good. Warmer weather than you are used too and a beach. It is also very expensive and very difficult to park, residents parking permits are as rare as hen's teeth. My best friend moved from Brighton to Hove. Then to be able to afford a house he moved a few miles down the road to Shoreham. If you don't need to transport links to London, this is a good compromise. I live in Germany which is much better alltogether! Well, it's my home town, so needless to say I like it. It's very cosmopolitan, diverse and tolerant (gay capital of UK still). It pretty much has everything you could want - stacks of restaurants and bars, traditional pubs, cafes, clubs, music venues, theatres, shops, the tacky but great pier and seafront, Marina, cinemas, lots of different types of residential areas. Tons of choice for vegetarians and vegans too!! A person answering a different question about Brighton mentioned "crusties with dogs on a string". Certainly about 10 years ago there was a huge problem with homelessness and you couldn't go 10 yards without being asked for "spare change". However, it's almost been eradicated (or certainly the visible side of it has). There are indeed many people of, shall we say, alternative lifestyles (they may live in a squat etc) who have dreadlocks and scruffy dogs but they certainly aren't a problem. The only con really is the exorbitant property prices. A basic 1-bedroom flat about 15 minutes walk from the centre will set you back at least 拢130,000, and a studio flat to rent would be at least 拢500 a month if not more. I could go on for hours about Brighton. I've lived here since I was a child, for over 30 years now and I love it. You get all kinds of people and as I said before, because of that, it's a very tolerant and laid back kind of place. I defy anyone not to enjoy it here! |
