North Laine
Brighton's most distinctive neighbourhood, home to hundreds of independent shops, second-hand stores, graffiti walls and vegan cafés.
North Laine lies between the railway station and the Royal Pavilion. Around 300 independent shops cluster along several parallel streets, including vintage clothing stores, vinyl record shops, the retro toy and collectibles shop Snoopers Paradise, craft stores, and plenty of vegetarian restaurants and cafés. Kensington Gardens, Gardner Street and Bond Street are the busiest, with walls covered in graffiti and street performers on weekends. The area is open to explore all day, though most shops open after 10:00. It is a five-minute walk from the station.
Opening hours
All day (shops about 10:00–18:00)
