3 things to see
Brighton is London’s seaside escape, with a free pebbly beach and a bohemian energy that makes it feel like a different country from the capital. The seafront and the maze of independent shops in the Lanes cost nothing to wander, and an hour on the train from London keeps it doable as a cheap day trip. Late spring and early autumn bring lower prices and thinner crowds than the summer beach rush.
