In a popular part of our famous city stretching from the vibrant shopping and arts venues of Lewes Road to Brighton Hospital there’s a lot to explore although there are plenty of local cafés, shops and bistro pubs to choose from. If you teach or have a young family, local primary schools are good and the open green area of The Patch- full of locals- is within walking distance. For health professionals all of the hospitals are easy to reach, and the Sheepcote Valley is a social hub full of dog walkers and joggers if you are new to the area. You can picnic on the beaches of Kemptown, which has its own eclectic character and collection of amenities on offer or in Queen’s Park, which has tennis courts, a pond, and café, and you can access everything this coastal city has to offer – including the universities and station serving the airports and London- on foot, by bus or by cab.
