Join me for a bumper hour-long tour of Britain's greatest seaside city: Brighton! Located on a huge stretch of pebbles on England's south coast, Brighton has gone from small fishing village to modern-day metropolis on the back of a huge tourist boom in the Regency and Victorian eras, an industry that it still thrives in to this day!
On our walk around Brighton, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Brighton Palace Pier, Brighton Beach, the Royal Albion Hotel, the Queens Hotel, Quadrophenia Alley, Brighton Town Hall, The Lanes, Brighton Pavilion, Brighton Dome, North Laine, Komedia Brighton, Kensington Gardens, Sydney Street, Brighton Railway Station, former Hanover Chapel Burial Gardens, St. Nicholas' Church, Churchill Square, Brighton Jubilee Clock Tower, St. Paul's Church, Brighton Promenade, the English Channel, Grand Brighton Hotel, Brighton Metropole Hotel, i360 Observation Tower, Regency Square, and the remains of the West Pier.
