Location Guide:
Kemptown Village is a lively area in the city, known for its beaches with beach bars, volleyball courts, yoga center, and a great Lido. It features an outdoor lifestyle with specialist shops and a farmer’s market, along with a Co-Op, post office, and chemist. It's conveniently located between the pier, the horse racing course, and the waterfront restaurants of the Marina. Central Brighton’s theatres and Lanes are a 15-20 minute walk away, either along the seafront or past the vibrant bars and restaurants of St James’ Street, which also hosts Pride. Bus routes cover all of Brighton & Hove, and Brighton train station, with its fast link to Gatwick and London, is close by, making commuting or renting out feasible. The A23/27 and coast road are also easily accessible for those who drive.
