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.

 Multi-lane 10-pin bowling complex |
Marina Way Brighton Marina Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UF United Kingdom +44 1273 818 180 http://www.bowlplexuk.com/bowl... |
Bowlplex is a complete entertainment complex incorporating 26 bowling lanes, including children's bumper lanes, sports bar and grill, American pool pit, video world and dance floor.

 Victorian municipal clock tower |
Junction of West Street and Queens Road Brighton, East Sussex United Kingdom |
Built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, the clock carries portraits of the Queen, Prince Albert and their son, the future Edward VII, and his wife. Above the clock is a gilt copper sphere, a time ball that once rose up a mast every hour and fell on the hour. The mechanism is no longer in use as the council had so many complaints from local residents about the noise. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Culinary worship of the Orient |
Brighton Marina, West Jetty Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5WA United Kingdom +44 1273 81 9053 http://www.brightonpagoda.co.u... |
The inside of the floating Brighton Pagoda is rather old and traditional, but gives a warm and cosy ambience. The best thing about this restaurant is the view over the sea. The Pagoda has a bright upper deck and a more subdued lower deck, for evening dining. With seating for over 100 - it could be the ideal venue for parties. The menu is quite extensive and should feature something for every taste. The shredded duck spring roll starter was delicious at just over £3 and for mains no dish tops £6.50. The fillet of beef was good, if a little dry, but vegetarians are also amply catered for. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Glorious fish |
29-31, East Street (The Lanes) Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HL United Kingdom +44 1273 32 7980 http://www.englishs.co.uk |
Set at the edge of a quaint square in The Lanes, this could well be a contender for the best Brighton restaurant. If a full blown gourmet meal is not your preferred choice, the small but stylish oyster bar, annexed to the restaurant, has space at the counter for about six diners. The menu is rather traditional with Dover sole, Grilled Tuna and lobster high on the list. The quality is excellent and the service attentive, making the whole dining experience a real joy.

This hotel is one of the most luxurious in Brighton and a true landmark of the seafront. It is very elegant and decorated in fine Regency furnishings. Officially rated a five-star hotel, it should come as no surprise that the facilities are first rate. It is an ideal venue for business or pleasure.

The Metropole has a long history of providing luxurious accommodations for visitors to Brighton. Located on the seafront, it is one of Brighton's finest buildings with opulent and grand furnishings. It is no wonder that it remains a firm favorite for business and private clients. The Metropole is probably the most comprehensive hotel in Brighton, even outpacing the more expensive Grand in terms of leisure facilities. The hotel has several restaurants including the Arundel, which serves modern British cuisine in stylish surroundings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brighton's genteel neighbour |
Off the A259 Beside Brighton Brighton, East Sussex BN3 United Kingdom |
Walk westwards along the seafront from Brighton and before you realise it you will be in Hove. Although often incorporated into "Brighton", Hove insists on maintaining an identity and status of its own. Once a notorious smuggling village, Hove is now home to the fine regency squares of Brunswick and Palmeira and also to the neat seafront Hove Lawns. The beach is always emptier, the promenade wider and life is just that little bit quieter than in loud and lively Brighton. St Georges Street has a range of everyday shops whilst Church Road has antiques and restaurants galore. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is a fantastic place to unwind, with beautiful gardens to stroll in. Why not watch a game of bowls or tennis on courts nearby? There's also a cycle track, a skating area, and two cafes onsite.

The 1995 tourist attraction of the year, and one of Europe's premier royal palaces, this former home of George IV is one of the UK's most exotic buildings. Indian architecture contrasts with interiors inspired by the Orient and collections of furniture and soft furnishings, decorative art, silver gilt and chinoiserie, including loans from the Queen. Restored to its full regency glory and set in restored Regency gardens. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Designated in 1999 as a National Park and currently an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the South Downs are one of the jewels of the South of England, stretching through East and West Sussex and well into Hampshire. The South Downs Way is an 161 km route from Eastbourne, near Beachy Head in the east to the outskirts of Winchester in the west, and is much-loved by walkers, mountain-bikers and kite-flyers. Hill forts and ancient burial grounds, old windmills and the mysterious Long Man of Wilmington are among the many landmarks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A giant beast of a multiplex out in Brighton Marina. This frankly ugly building is where you can come and see all your favourite Hollywood blockbusters. The place has the added advantage of showing films at the civilised hour of 9pm-9.30pm giving you a chance to get dressed up or down depending on the film. Tickets £5 upwards.

Walk along the shore |
Brighton Marina Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UF United Kingdom http://www.thisbrighton.co.uk/... |
A three-mile walkway at the foot of the cliffs, starting at Brighton Marina and finishing at Saltdean, on the eastern edge of the city. The path opened as far as Rottingdean in 1933 and was extended to Saltdean two years later. There are cafes at Ovingdean Gap, the mid-way point, and Saltdean. You can leave the path at Rottingdean and have a look around this small town. The path is popular with cyclists and pushchairs due to its totally flat terrain. Take care of falling chalk from the cliffs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Britain's first electric railway |

Built and opened in 1883 by local inventor Magnus Volk, this was the first public electric railway in the UK. It runs from Brighton Pier to Black Rock, near Brighton Marina, considerably more than its original quarter-mile journey. The track is right next to the beach and it is a lovely little ride along the seafront in open-sided carriages. A long running and ever popular attraction. Review © 2007, Wcities |
