About Brighton
Brighton commands a premium because of its unique character, London proximity, and lifestyle appeal. The tech sector (Brighton is called 'Silicon Beach') and creative industries drive the economy. Property is expensive but reflects the quality of life. The city attracts people seeking London salaries with a seaside lifestyle.
Lifestyle & Things to Do
Brighton is the UK's most bohemian city — the unofficial LGBTQ+ capital, a creative hub, and a seaside destination with genuine year-round appeal. The Lanes are packed with independent shops, North Laine has vintage and street food, and the seafront stretches for miles. The Brighton Festival is England's largest arts festival. The South Downs National Park starts at the city's edge.
Transport & Commuting
Brighton Station has direct trains to London Victoria and London Bridge in under an hour, making it a popular commuter town. The A23 and A27 provide road links. Gatwick Airport is 30 minutes by train. Brighton is very walkable and cycle-friendly.

Property Buying Tips for Brighton
Hove (the quieter half of Brighton & Hove) offers slightly better value and a more residential feel. Kemptown is vibrant and central. Preston Park suits families. Hanover has colourful terraces on steep streets. For first-time buyers, Portslade and Moulsecoomb are more affordable. Sea-view flats command a significant premium.
