## Neighborhood

Kemptown is one of Time Out magazine’s “World’s Coolest Neighbourhoods” with its “laidback vibes, spectacular seafront and incredible nightlife” they described as “a boho-enclave within a boho-enclave”. A short stroll from the apartment along St. George’s Road to St. James Street will take you past Brighton Cabaret, antique shops, bookshops, bars and pubs, delis, independent cafés and great coffee shops. Brighton Marina, with its cinema, restaurants, bars, superstore and boat tours, is a 15-minute stroll away along the seafront. If you want to head into Brighton city centre, head west along the seafront, this route will take you past the Yellowave Beach sports club (10 minutes), the famous Brighton Pier, with all it’s amusement arcade and rides (20 minutes) and inland to the fantastical Grand Royal Pavilion and Brighton Museum & Art Gallery (25 minutes).

Brighton is bustling with independent shops with a range of areas to explore, including The Lanes, where you’ll find independent clothes shops, jewellers, vintage emporiums, bookshops, cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs, all housed within the labyrinth of its ancient “twittens” (alleyways) built in the 16th and 17th Century when Brighton was known as Brighthelmstone; head to North Laine for quirkier shops, street markets and indie cafes; and if you’re after high street shopping then Churchill Square where you’ll find will scratch that itch.

When you want to take a rest you can visit one of the hundreds of cafes, restaurants, or pubs that Brighton has to offer or take a moment and chill in one of the city's green spaces or pebbly beaches and enjoy the buskers and street entertainers. Ever since royal party animal George IV fell in love with Brighton back in the 18th Century, the city has been a magnet for visitors in search of fun, frolic and fresh sea air.
