Brighton and Hove, Coastal city in East Sussex, England

The combined cities of Brighton and Hove stretch along the English Channel coast, featuring Victorian architecture and eight miles of pebble beaches.

Following a period of separate governance, Brighton and Hove merged into a single administrative unit in 1997 and obtained city status in 2001.

The Royal Pavilion, built as a seaside residence for King George IV, demonstrates Indian architectural elements with Chinese interior decorations.

Direct trains from London Victoria and London Bridge stations reach Brighton and Hove in under one hour, with regular services throughout the day.

The city sits within a UNESCO World Biosphere Region and borders the South Downs National Park, an International Dark Sky Reserve.
