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 |

Authentic market |
London Road Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4JG United Kingdom |
This partly covered market was established in the 1920s. The outside wall on the Ditchling Road side is painted with a mural of the market and the people who frequent this busy place. Food produce includes fruit, vegetables, flowers, eggs, milk, cheese, fish and meat. There are also stalls selling haberdashery, pet supplies, stationery, ornaments, watches and electrical goods. The Market Cafe sells good British grub. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brilliant bric a brac |
7/8 Kensington Gardens North Laine Brighton BN1 4AL United Kingdom +44 (0)1273 60 2558 |
Snooper's Paradise holds thousands of square feet of antiques, bric a brac and vintage clothing over two floors. There is a small Art Deco section on the first floor, which is worth visiting. The new-age club-wear looks slightly out of place in the window display, but it adds to the eclecticism of this Aladdin's cave. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Big & Brash |
Brighton Station Car Park (off Trafalgar Street) Brighton, East Sussex United Kingdom +44 1895 63 9912 |
Serious bargain hunters will reach this huge market in the early hours, but most people stroll in after a leisurely Sunday brunch. It gets busy but as it is hidden behind Brighton's train station it remains an enigma to many Brightonians. Expect to find record stalls, furniture, antiques, clothes, a butcher and a fruit and vegetable stall amongst the regular crowd of car booters selling general junk. There is a cafe selling bacon sandwiches and cups of tea to replenish your strength after a lap of the market. Review © 2007, Wcities |
