Brighton is a bright and vibrant city. So diverse in pretty much every way imaginable that it can come a shock to new visitors. Being open minded is something that is a necessity of any newcomer. It is important to treat everyone as an equal in Brighton and to respect everyone’s views in the same way your views will be.

Brighton is in a close proximity to the capital (London) and offering attractions such as the beach and nice weather. It is also a suitable area for young people as it exhibits a large choice of attractions and there’s lots going on around the city and beyond.

Brighton is a small coastal city, offering a range of activities to engage in throughout the year. Along the shore, one can skim pebbles on stunning blue water, and with some luck, a bright orange sunset will serve as the backdrop. In the right company and with a few tins of Red Stripe, the rest of the city quickly becomes unimportant; days may pass you by with no reason to seek new pleasures or hobbies.

Busy, vibrant and addictive, Brighton is the place you go to visit for the weekend and end up never leaving. The beach is full of pebbles, and Morocco’s down on Hove Lawns sells the best ice cream you will ever have the pleasure of tasting. known as London by the sea, Brighton is popular for its London prices and being the posh seaside everyone wants. It’s extravagant, beautiful, and full of carefree people.

Before moving to Brighton, make sure you are not afraid of seagulls – they are everywhere! Also, the beaches are covered in stones and shingle, not sand. The local art scene is great, especially in summer. Local artists open their homes to the public for impromptu art exhibitions.
