Question

Is Brighton lovely or horrible? and is it safe?

Answer 1

What on earth do people mean when they say "safe"? And I agree that some of the responses you've got are majorly homophobic and kinda make me sick so I hope you report them.

Anyway, Brighton's an incredibly vibrant city with things to do for all ages. Commuting distance from London, a huge array of shopping and eating, great bars and - if you're that way inclined - one of the best g*y scenes outside London.

When the sun does shine, it's an added bonus but I think it's one of the best places to live in the UK, year-round.

Answer 2

Brighton is the pits, full of poofs and bum bandits. About as safe as Croydon.

Answer 3

i love brighton!! it think it is a fab place!!!

city by the seaside what more could you want!!??

is it safe as in crime?! well always best to be vigilant but i don't think it's too bad!

Answer 4

Brighton's a great place, and is probably safer than most cities of the same size.

Answer 5

I've never been there so I can't speak from personal experience, but what I've heard is that it's a very rough and dangerous place.

Answer 6

There are some really childish answers so far from some people.

It is a lovely city and its what you make of it. Yes it has a seedy side as do all cities i know of. There are some rough areas which to avoid, though they are on the estates and there would not be any reason for a visitor to go there for any reason.

I love the city and i have been raised here. I have left and travelled and worked and lived in other places but the draw to this place is amazing.

They do call it London by the Sea.

People have mentioned about g**s, yes there is a g*y scene here which is in one part of the city, near to Kemptown, though there also straight bars in the area.

There is no real hassle in the city if you stay away from the main drag of the young idiots trying to get as drunk as possible at the weekend in West Street.

There isn't a great deal to do if the weather is c**p to be honest, though i find that most places are the same in the UK, people tend to stay in or go to the pub/restaurant.

To be honest the crime rate in the city is falling and continues to do so.  Its not as busy as many parts of London and i personally feel safer here than up there.

Just make sure as with anything that you don't walk in unlit areas late at night on your own, that as with anywhere is asking for trouble.

Answer 7

its nice in the summer bit grey and miserable in the winter. its fairly safe but like most cities this size u need to take care, particularly at night. not the place to be if ur not g*y friendly, also a lot of foreign students and visitors during the summer.  

Answer 8

Answer 10

Brighton is great and yes, it is perfectly safe.

Answer 11

lovely nice and sunny but the pebbles hurt your feat so make sure you take flip flops

Answer 12

My friends tell me it is safe as long as you keep your back to the wall and don't visit any public lavatories.

Answer 13

It's as safe as anywhere else, but I didn't really like it.

Answer 14

Watch out for black g**s with long hair walking by the peir. They almost ate me there last night.
