Stanmer HouseStanmer House is a magnificent country house set in the midst of Brighton's premier parkland only ten minutes from Brighton centre. Offering a classical historic venue combined with state of the art technology, at Stanmer House nothing is impossible.
Built in 1727, Stanmer was once the ancestral home of the Pelham family and the Earls of Chichester; a place frequented by Winston Churchill and Queen Victoria, Stanmer House is reborn having been dormant for well over a decade. | ![]() |
The LevelThe Level is a small green area to the north east of the town centre, linking the main London and Lewes Roads and is therefore a busy thoroughfare.
The Levels were once open fields where fishermen could safely spread their nets, and are now edged by the remains of a double avenue of Elm trees - unfortunately many of these trees were destroyed by the hurricane of 1987.
There is a children's playground and, in the summer, a cafe and paddling pool. | ![]() |
Doctor Brighton'sDoctor Brighton’s is situated on Brighton seafront, just to the west of the Palace Pier, and offers what is probably the largest selection of spirits in any pub in Brighton. Vodka is the pub’s specialty, maintaining a range of over 100 different vodkas from around the world, with a definite focus on Polish Vodkas.
Having a great range of spirits naturally means we are able to produce a fantastic range of cocktails, but we take just as much care with our real ales and lagers. | ![]() |
Hove Museum & Art GalleryHove Museum & Art Gallery has undergone major redevelopment thanks to awards from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Regional Arts Lottery Fund, Brighton and Hove Council, The Headley Trust and The Friends of Hove Museum & Art Gallery. The redevelopment has resulted in a lift being installed, changes of floor level being ramped and improved visitor flow around the first floor of the Museum. | ![]() |
Marlborough PubThe Marlborough Hotel was the first of Brighton’s pubs to cater for a predominantly lesbian clientele, but it's also popular with thespians thanks to a small (55 capacity) theatre upstairs. This hosts a show of some kind – gigs, plays or comedy – most nights of the week and is also available for private hire. The pub itself is divided into two distinct parts: the mellower, non-smoking Theatre Bar and the more lively main bar. | ![]() |
Brighton PierAt 1,722 ft long and acknowledged as the finest pier ever built, Brighton Pier (a Grade 2* listed building) now offers all the swagger and style of tradition balanced with the pace and excitement of today. Many pieces of history remain on the pier including some of the original kiosks, a signal cannon from the Old Chain Pier and filigree ironwork arches that graced the original structure. . | ![]() |
Pull and PumpThe Pull and Pump is a traditional pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere, frequented by a wide range of locals and regulars as well as passing shoppers looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of central Brighton.

Fountain HeadJust down from Bill's Produce Store, The Fountainhead is a warm and inviting watering hole that combines classic pub features - exposed brickwork, wooden floors and a log fire - with a contemporary sense of light and space. It caters for all comers, from regulars to locals, and students to young professionals - and several decades beyond. As well as a superb food menu, they offer a strong drink selection (two real ales and Westons on tap, as well as a good range of spirits and shooters). | ![]() |
Open MarketSmall local market found in between the Level and the opening to London Road high street. The stalls vary in size and offer fresh fruit and veg, meat & fish, organic produce, cheese and even a bicycle stall!. | ![]() |
Hectors HouseHector’s House is a youth-oriented town-centre pub. With a vibrant and chilled (if that’s possible, we don’t like serving oxymorons) atmosphere, created by the fun-loving clientele, Hector’s is situated in the heart of Brighton, next door to the University art college and only a couple of minutes walk from the seafront and the Palace Pier. | ![]() |
Saint George'sA cosy, relaxed, pub tucked away behind Kemp Town village, the St George's Inn has now been taken over by Steve - formerly of the legendary Shakespeare's Head - ably assisted by Chewie, Beth and Tomme. Stuffed full of memorabilia, and also boasting the coveted green sofa, everyone's welcome in this "cast iron killer local" (The Brighton Source). A selection of well-kept ale is served on rotation, alongside the ever-popular Harveys. | ![]() |

Leconfield ArmsA good ole locals pub with a large number of regulars, the Lord Leconfield Arms is the sort of traditional no-nonsense watering hole that’s becoming increasingly rare in the face of the pre-club bar invasion. The focus is more on maintaining a friendly, genuinely welcoming atmosphere than on specific events, but they do screen sports matches, offer pool and darts and host various one-off live music events. They also offer an excellent beer garden. | ![]() |

All three of us are in central Brighton - right by the shops, the Lanes and the conference facilities and directly opposite the ever-interesting West Pier. | ![]() |
West Blatchington WindmillThe restored mill at West Blatchington is a Grade II* listed building which is well worth a visit. Information panels give details on the history of milling and on the history of the mill. Exhibits include two scale models of Shipley smock mill and Nutley post mill, a Thresher and a Wire Dressing Machine, plus many articles of both milling and agricultural interest. | ![]() |
Kipling GardensThe Kipling Gardens were named after the author and poet Rudyard Kipling who lived in the house attached to the gardens from 1897 until 1902. Although the gardens became derelict and remained so for many years, in 1986 they were formally opened and presented to Brighton Borough Council to be held in trust by the Borough.
Visitors can relax in these quiet, peaceful and secluded gardens and enjoy the Rose Garden, the Herb Garden and the Wild Garden (where there are tables for picnickers). | ![]() |

The HopeWith a highly central position between the Clock Tower and Brighton station, the Hope is a bustling, music-led, watering hole popular with everyone from skinny, guitar-toting types to the after-work crowd, with the location guaranteeing a regular supply of fresh faces. There are always quality tunes on the stereo, from 13th Floor Elevators to The Automatic; a recently installed pizza oven, meanwhile, means no-one need go hungry. | ![]() |
The GlobeOne of the very few traditional pubs in close proximity to the seafront clubs. Instead of tacky pre-club décor, think mustard and deep red colouring, a copper-paneled ceiling, ornate mirrors, a chandelier and even a Sherlock Holmes style library downstairs. Yet it’s no old man’s boozer: they offer wireless connections for those with laptops and, for those without, a fully-connected PC on the bar. | ![]() |
Jurys Inn BrightonCentrally located adjacent to the railway station, Jurys Inn Brighton is in the heart of the New England quarter of the city.
