Where to go

The Lanes in Brighton were originally the heart of the fishing village of Brighthelmstone. The name may have been shortened while the city has grown exponentially, but this is still the place to go in Brighton. This maze of narrow paths and alleyways is packed with boutique stores, antique shops and plenty of places to eat, like Lost in the Lanes, a contemporary cafe, and The Bath Arms, a classic English pub.
