Walking/Cycling

The city is very compact and most places are within easy walking and cycling distance. For example, Brighton and Hove rail stations are only 15-20 minutes walk from the Town House as is the Royal Pavilion.

By Bus

We are well served by the local bus network. Tell your bus driver you need to get to the top of Brunswick Square in Western Road, Hove, or the east end of Hove Lawns on the seafront road (Kingsway, A259). For full timetable and route information see:
Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Travel Times.

By train or coach

If you are visiting us via the rail network you can use Hove or Brighton stations, each being approximately 1.3 miles from the Town House. For full timetable and route information see:
National Rail UK

Bus and taxis services are available at both stations. Brighton & Hove are well served by express coaches. Journeys from London take about 2 hours. For route and timetable information see:
National Express

By car

Driving to Brighton & Hove is relatively straightforward but it should be noted that traffic can get very congested at weekends and holiday periods. Once here drivers often find parking to be problomatic. There are a few limited parking options in the immediate Brunswick Square area (south side of Kingsway and a small number of voucher sites around the Square) but drivers are recommended to use the established car parking facilities. For details see:
Brighton & Hove City Transport.

For details of Coach parking, set-down and pick-up points see:
Visit Brighton.

By plane or boat

Our closest airport is London Gatwick (LGW), some 27 miles north of the city. London Heathrow (LHR) is approximately 65 miles north. Both airports offer regular coach and train links to Brighton & Hove. The ferry port of Newhaven (linked to Dieppe in France) is some 9 miles east of the city and also offers regular coach and train links to Brighton & Hove.
