Brighton - General Information

Brighton

The city is convenient for London, and increasingly popular with media and music types who don't want to live in the capital. It is sometimes called "London-by-the-Sea" for this reason. Brighton is probably the gay capital of Britain. There is a significant gay district in Kemp Town which adds to the Bohemian atmosphere of the city. It is home to two universities, University of Sussex and University of Brighton (situated on the edge of the city at Falmer), but is most famous for its Pavilion, an extravagant Regency building by John Nash.
