Overview

Brighton is one of Britain’s most colourful and progressive seaside towns. On this audio walking tour, you’ll discover how it evolved from a modest fishing village called Brighthelmstone into a cultural playground that embraces eccentricity, creativity, and diversity.
This self-guided tour begins at the Italianate Brighton Station. You’ll explore the bohemian North Laine district with its colourful independent shops, and discover how the Prince Regent’s extravagant Royal Pavilion with its distinctive onion domes became the enduring symbol of the city. Along the way, you’ll learn about local legends like Martha Gunn, the “Venerable Priestess of the Bath” who helped Victorian ladies into the healing waters, and discover how the iconic 1964 Mod-Rocker clashes inspired the film Quadrophenia. The tour ends at the skeletal remains of the West Pier, where you can contemplate both the town’s glorious past and its ever-evolving future.
