Vibrant North Laine is the bohemian heart of Brighton. It's a wonderful spot to pull up a seat outside one of the many cafes and people-watch while enjoying a kombucha or flat white.

Shops and stalls specialise in everything from crystals to vintage magazines and hip restaurants and cafes abound.

There's colourful street art to be discovered in the nooks and crannies of the surrounding areas. North Laine is quintessential Brighton at its quirky best.

Naturally, North Laine is a popular student area, with the University of Brighton on its eastern fringe – don't miss the chance to explore its University of Brighton Gallery to see the work of some fresh talent. There's more engaging art a short walk north at the Phoenix Gallery, where several artist's studios gather.
