 Value for money |
Brighton Marina Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UZ United Kingdom +44 1273 60 6611 http://www.asda.co.uk |
A good place for food shopping if you travel by car as it has a very large car park. It is also well known for its price rollback promotions, where hundreds of prices are kept low, so you'll find plenty of bargains. The range is excellent, as it is one of the largest supermarkets in Brighton. There is a clothing department, which is good for casualwear and shoes. They also have a delicatessen, a large bakery, fresh fish, a newsagent, a music section, and large meat and freezer departments. They also have a good selection of flowers and plants.

 Unusual shopping experience |
31A Upper St James Street Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1JN United Kingdom +44 1273 62 4006 |
If any one shop can sum up the atmosphere and mixture of people in Kemp Town, it is here. An eclectic collection of the fascinating, the rare, the ornamental and the just plain useless housed in a garish pink building. Over 60 independent stalls selling a variety of antiques (some genuine), furniture, bric-a-brac and collectibles are housed within these walls. There are no pressure salesmen, so it is worth a visit, even if you have no intention of buying anything. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gay fashion |
32 St. James's Street Kemp Town Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1RF United Kingdom +44 1273 62 6442 http://www.clonezone.co.uk |
In the heart of Kemp Town, this shop caters for the needs of the local gay community. That is if your needs include leather bondage gear. For the less adventurous, clothes include cropped trousers, tight vests, sunglasses and Punto Blanco underwear. Great gifts include Tyson dolls and Elvis Presley memorabilia. Also selling videos, books and magazines, it is a good place to find out about gay club nights with posters and flyers found near the entrance. As it opens until late on Friday and Saturday, make it your first point of call if you're in Brighton for a weekend of clubbing. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sixties chic |
46 Sydney Street North Laine Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4EP United Kingdom +44 1273 69 3506 |
One of the best things about this shop is the relaxed atmosphere. You can guarantee that the shop assistant will be reading the paper and a cat will be sitting like Bagpuss on the counter. And like this infamous cat, the shop is a symbol of all that is retro. It is like a huge dressing up box, so the moral of this shopping lesson is "Search and Ye shall find"! It is a good place for Farah trousers and other fashion treasures. Upstairs, retro furniture can be found from chairs to hostess trolleys, so you can create the full effect. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For joggers and runners |
39b George Street Kemp Town Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1RJ United Kingdom +44 1273 67 5717 http://www.jogshop.co.uk |
You'll find this small specialist shop at the end of the road which continues on from St James's Street. Obsessed with all that makes the jogging experience complete, they stock trainers, lycra shorts, vests and other clothing in Gore-Tex fabrics at excellent prices. This is either a hangout for joggers or they have plenty of staff, as there always seems to be a lot of people around sharing advice and information about local runs. (You'll find a variety of leaflets for the same purpose.) Other products on sale include energy supplements, knee supports and those all-important socks and blister recovery packs.

 Beatlemania |
35 Upper St James's Street Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1JN United Kingdom +44 1273 68 6869 |
This shop is a recent addition to Kemp Town's quirkiness and although it isn't centrally positioned, it would be difficult to miss as a yellow submarine is welded to the front. It is the first shop in the South, outside London, to be devoted to the Beatles. Memorabilia includes books, teapots, armchairs, biscuit jars, signed pictures and even a fruit machine depicting the band in stock. The owners Jane and Meg (who is from New York) have created a shrine to the Beatles, with a collection of drawings by illustrator Heinz Edelman. Review © 2007, Wcities |

All citizens of the European Union plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein are entitled to free medical assistance and consultations in Britain. Like British citizens they must pay the £6.00 fee for any drug prescriptions. Some other countries, including Australia, New Zealand, eastern Europe and Russia have reciprocal health agreements with the UK. These vary from free entitlement to a proportion of the costs being waived. Only urgently needed treatment is covered. Visitors from most countries, including the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Mexico and all African, South American, Middle Eastern and Asian countries will be liable for full medical costs unless covered by insurance. This does not, however, apply to treatment at accident and emergency departments which is free for everyone. Accident and emergency facilities are also available at the following hospitals- Southlands, Shoreham +44 (0)1273 455622Victoria, Lewes +44 (0)1273 474153 Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional sports shop |
39 Grand Parade Central Brighton Brighton, East Sussex BN2 2QA United Kingdom +44 1273 60 5625 |
These specialists in sports equipment have been providing a personal service since 1962. Situated away from the main sporting outlets in the central shopping areas, they stand out as offering a more traditional service. They are an official stockist from ProSports and stock Fila, Adidas and Mitre Footballs (which sell for between EUR10 and EUR30) as well as Astroturf's, football shirts, trainers, clothes and tennis equipment. There is parking available at the rear of the shop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Alternative trends |
92 Trafalgar Street North Laine Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4ER United Kingdom +44 1273 68 9931 |
As this shop is situated at the furthest end of North Laine, it could be easy to miss. For the non-label conscious, this shop provides all the best styles in natural fabrics and at reasonable prices. With Hawaiian shirts and baggy trousers for the men and Chinese sandals and knee length skirts for the girls, this is where it's at. In front of the counter you'll find a nice selection of silver jewellery and to the side a huge collection of club flyers and posters. It's worth taking the time to look through the bargain bin.
