ABOUT IMAGES  
BrightonFamous for its bohemian lifestyle and gay pride, Brighton is a beautiful, hip and slightly hippie hang-out with all the buzz of a city coupled with the benefits of being by the sea. It's not far from London, many have cycled in the famous London-to-Brighton bike ride, and plenty more commute daily. With its grand Regency architecture (a legacy to its popularity among the royals), wide vistas and fairground attractions which flash and beep all day long this place has that unique mix of grandiose and tacky, which seaside resorts specialise in. In summer this place gets packed with sun-seekers and music pumps out of the beach-side bars. No one seems to mind that the big pebbles and sloping beach make an uncomfortable bed to lie on. At night, Brighton Pier lights up in a technicolour of neon; walk to the Royal Pavilion at the end and you'll pass plenty of opportunities to win furry animals and the like. The West Pier, on the other hand, remains a sad-looking derelict wreck since it collapsed into the sea and was subsequently burnt down a few years back. No trip to Brighton would be complete without a pier-to-pier stroll along the seafront and a bag of traditional fish and chips. Try Bankers (at 116a Western Road, BN1 2AB, Tel 01273 328 267) one of Brighton's best-loved fish and chip restaurants, or The Regency (131 Kings Road, BN1 2HH, Tel 01273 325 014) overlooking the beachfront, described as "a really good all-things-to-everybody restaurant" by Rick Stein himself. Make sure you leave time to wander around The Lanes, Brighton's central and tres chic shopping streets; with designer labels and cosmopolitan coffee shops, it's easy to while away several hours here. But be warned, Brighton is a victim of its own popularity and, at the height of summer, you'll be lucky to get a last-minute room - all hotels get fully booked well in advance and most have a two-night minimum stay.
