Unique Brighton - A Very Special Place


Brighton has a reputation for being a very special place in which to live and visit. The city often called London On Sea is a mix of the cosmopolitan and quirky. It has always attracted celebrity residents. Noel Gallagher Oasis singer has a home here. But he is not alone. Celebrity watching is a popular past time in Brighton. I often spend my Sunday mornings people watching in the bohemian North Laines area. David Beckham and Posh Spice are rumoured to have a secret address in Brighton. Uniquely Brighton has elected the one and only British Green MP, Caroline Lucas. It is not only the people who make Brighton a special place, our buildings and infrastructure is also noteworthy. The city boasts the world’s oldest aquarium Brighton Sea Life Centre. The Duke of York’s cinema is the oldest in the UK. Volks Railway is Britain’s oldest public electric railway. The people of Brighton are a friendly bunch and it is very easy to strike up a conversation on the bus (voted best in the UK). You never know whom you might be talking to under their dark sunglasses! Wish you were here...
