Shopping in the Lanes and Laine District
Many people enjoy two deservedly popular districts: The Lanes – between the Royal Pavilion and the beach – and the North Laine area in this photo – close to the station.
Both are worth exploring with interesting independently run shops, cafes and pubs..
The West Pier
This derelict pier is a favourite subject for photographers.
Once a symbol of the leisurely seaside lifestyle Brighton had come to represent, it sadly had to close after a fire.
