Brighton is one of the most popular destinations for Londoners relocating out of the capital. A vibrant, culturally rich seaside city with fast trains to London Victoria, Brighton offers a lifestyle genuinely different from London - the sea, the Lanes, the festivals, the food scene - while remaining practically connected to the capital.
Commuting from Brighton
Fast trains from Brighton to London Victoria take as little as 52 minutes on the fastest services. Regular services take between 60 and 80 minutes. Many Brighton residents commute three or four days per week and work remotely for the remainder. Annual season tickets cost approximately £5,500 to £6,000 - offset significantly by the property cost advantage over London.
Brighton neighbourhoods
Hove
Quieter, more residential and slightly more affluent than Brighton centre, Hove has beautiful Regency squares, excellent schools and a strong family community. The most popular area for families relocating from London.
Seven Dials and Fiveways
Central Brighton neighbourhoods popular with young professionals and families - Victorian terraces, strong independent café and restaurant scenes, well placed for the station.
Kemptown
Brighton's creative district, popular with professionals and artists relocating from East London. Strong community identity, good restaurants and seafront access.
Preston Park
A leafy residential area north of the centre, popular with families for the park, good schools and quieter streets.
Schools in Brighton and Hove
Brighton College and Roedean School are nationally recognised independent schools. The state sector is mixed - research options carefully and begin applications early as the most popular schools are oversubscribed.
Moving day from London to Brighton
A London to Brighton move takes between five and nine hours. The A23/M23 is the primary route. Significant parking restrictions in central Brighton require advance planning - a parking suspension may be needed for properties in controlled parking zones.
Brighton's older housing stock - basement flats, period conversions, narrow central streets - requires careful vehicle selection and planning. Relokates plans all access as part of every move.
