Brighton
Don’t gawp at Nick Cave. Imogen Lycett Green on where to shop, stay, picnic, cycle and find some culture
By imogen lycett green
Do turn left out of the station and meander through the North Laine towards Brighton Pavilion. Lose yourself among independent traders selling everything from handbags made from recycled bicycles to winter coats sculpted in felt by Yoma. Bespoke tailors Gresham Blake make pinstripe suits. For mod paraphernalia, try Jump the Gun.
Dohire a bike from Brighton Cycle Hire (under the station) and ride along the seafront towards Oscar Wilde’s house in Worthing. Tie up at the new Velo Café on the Level for a croque monsieur made with Sussex ham. If you get a puncture, they’ll mend it.
