The Lanes and North Laine
The Lanes are a network of narrow medieval alleys in Brighton’s old town, now filled with jewelry shops, cafes, and boutiques. North Laine (spelled differently) is the adjacent bohemian quarter with vintage shops, record stores, vegan cafes, and street art. Free to walk. Budget travelers walk both areas and find that Brighton’s character is in its side streets, not on the seafront.
