Getting Around:
Getting to and around Brighton is straightforward, as it is a well-connected city on the south coast of England. Brighton is approximately an hour’s train journey from London, with frequent services running from major London stations such as London Victoria, London Bridge, and St Pancras International. Southern and Thameslink are the main train operators serving this route, and Brighton’s train station is centrally located, making it easy to start exploring as soon as you arrive. By car, Brighton is accessible via the M23 and A23 from London and the M27/A27 if coming from the west or east along the coast. Parking can be limited and often expensive, especially in the city centre, so researching car parks or Park & Ride schemes in advance is recommended. For a budget-friendly option, National Express and Megabus offer coach services from various UK cities, including London, with journey times around 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic. The nearest major airport is Gatwick Airport, only about 30 minutes away by direct train, while Heathrow Airport is approximately 1.5 hours away by train and coach.

Once in Brighton, getting around is easy. The city centre is compact and pedestrian-friendly, perfect for exploring on foot, with key attractions such as The Lanes, North Laine, the Royal Pavilion, and the Brighton Pier all within walking distance of each other. The local bus service, operated by Brighton & Hove Buses, is extensive and reliable, covering routes throughout the city and nearby areas, with day tickets and contactless payment options available. Brighton is also a bike-friendly city, with many cycle lanes and bike racks. You can rent bikes from local shops or use BTN BikeShare, the city’s public bike rental scheme. Taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber are readily available, and traditional black cabs can be flagged down or found at taxi ranks. While driving in Brighton is possible, traffic congestion and limited parking can be challenging, particularly during peak tourist seasons, and drivers should be mindful of one-way systems and pedestrian zones in the centre. The city has also introduced a trial scheme for electric scooter rentals in certain areas, offering another eco-friendly way to get around. Brighton’s unique mix of urban life and seaside charm, along with its excellent transport options, make it an inviting and accessible destination.
