00:00Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London, but today we're heading
00:05south of the capital to Brighton, a vibrant seaside city on the south coast of England.
00:10Just over an hour from London by train, it has long been a popular escape for Londoners
00:16looking to unwind by the sea. During the summer months, the city comes alive with visitors
00:21drawn to its iconic pier, independent shops and thriving art and food scene.
00:28Brighton offers a contrast to London's pace, it's smaller, more relaxed, but still buzzing
00:33with culture and energy. Trains run frequently from London Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars,
00:41making it an easy trip or weekend getaway. Whether it's a walk along the seafront, fish
00:47and chips on the beach, Brighton always remains a go-to summer spot for Londoners.
