Travel Tips - Shopping in Brighton, England

 

Welcome to Brighton, shopping capital of the south coast. You’ll find everything you need here to satisfy even the most discerning shopper’s pallets. A choice of lavish department stores await including: Peacock’s, and Debenhams, with showings from Marks & Spencer, H&M and BHS. John Lewis are said to be prospecting the town for their first presence in Sussex.

Brighton is the jewel in the crown of the south coast resorts and carries a shopping centre to befit that status, but aside from the classy department stores and plush new shopping mall, there is the distinct and unique “Lanes” district, home of the quaint little narrow streets and studded with some wonderful clothes boutiques with elegant fashion wear and designer clothes on offer. But this really wouldn’t be doing the lanes justice, and both the North and South Lanes are well worth a visit, no matter how long your visit to Brighton.

If you have your own shopping tips, why not give us the lowdown and post a new Travel Tip to TravelEden.com today.

An organic oasis in the North Laine  
 
Stock up on organic, local and fair-trade treats at Brighton’s Infinity foods, which is located in the heart of the North Laine. If you fancy a quick snack in between shopping the slices of cold vegetarian pizza ‘to go’ are superb.

Brighton Marina  
 
Located a short drive or bus ride east from the city centre, Brighton’s Marina is a superb haven away from the crowds, perfect for a short day trip.

You can enjoy people watching at one of the many waterside cafes and restaurants - which include a number of chains including Strada, Café Rouge and Pizza Express - , shopping at the city’s outlet shopping centre or perhaps go bowling at the large Bowlplex centre.

One of my personal highlights however is walking through the quayside and admiring the huge range of yachts and powerboats. There is nothing quite like seeing how the other half live. Water tours and deep sea fishing trips are also available from the marina. You can even walk up each ‘arm’ of the Marina, which offers wonderful views back to the Marina village, or, if you’re feeling energetic, following the undercliff walk all the way to Saltdean, a distance of 4.5km.

Just browsing at the West Pier market  
 
The crumbling structure of the West Pier marks the location of a small market which takes place every weekend and features a number of stalls selling everything from second hand books, paintings, African clothing, hats and printed t-shirts.

Combine this market with a walk along the seafront, stopping at Al Fresco for a drink while you watch the world go by.

Music and more at the Ape Shop, Brighton  
 
While it appears the high-steet music retailers are diversifying or closing down the independent “Ape” shop seems to be going from strength to strength. Knowledgeable staff, many of whom dj and run their own club nights and a quality selection of cds, dvdss, books and gig tickets make Ape Brighton an essential to pick up the latest music selection or get the low down on the best club nights and gigs around.

You can find Ape on North Street.
