I've only been to Brighton once, whilst working on the South coast for a summer. It's got plenty to recommend it, but like many popular destinations, things that detract too. F'rinstance, the famed "beach" is too much like walking over pebbles to be too much fun, but by contrast the Pavilion is great, despite the crowds. If you want more beachiness, you're better to head to Shoreham. Shopping is great - lots of shops, lots of wee places selling small artsy things, and the Laines are great for the browser in all of us. The nightlife is famous, lots of pubs and clubs of all kinds of varieties - just watch what part of town you're in. All in all, a good few days out can be had - or you can just visit from London. J
