The Lanes are the old heart of Brighton, the narrow lanes and twittens of the fishing town of Brighthelmstone. Today they hold jewellers, boutiques and cafés, the oyster house of English’s, Embers’ wood fire and Burnt Orange’s Bib Gourmand.
The twittens
Meeting House Lane, Brighton Square, Duke Street and Ship Street are the heart of the quarter.
Where to eat
Embers, Burnt Orange, The Flint House, English’s, Riddle & Finns, Terre à Terre and Food for Friends.
Come in the morning, before the crowds.
Where to drink
The Cricketers, Plateau and the cocktail bars along Middle Street and East Street.
Our advice: walk the Lanes, then cross East Street to the sea.
