Living in Brighton & Hove | Lifestyle | Travel Guide | Cost of living...But we are leaving

- We are trying to find the most suitable city in the UK to call home. Brighton was the first city we wanted to try because of the location, weather and reputation, so we lived in Brighton and Hove for the past three months. We think Brighton is great and the weather is good for the UK, the shops are super cute too. Let's say we love every bit of it. However, the living cost is pretty high, not dissimilar to London. We paid £1400/month for a one-bedroom flat. Bus tickets are £2.50 for a single trip and parking can be difficult to find if you don't have a resident permit.

I used to live in Brighton in 70s while I was studying in Sussex between 1975 and 1979 . Great town and the brightionions are the best people in england. Each time i visit England I make sure to visit Brighton, though all my classmates are gone however i enjoy visiting Brighton, and some of the people are still there .
It is like my second home, i spent my youth in Brighton, now i wish i could spent my retired life in Brighton.
My brother also recently shifted from London to Brighton. He is feeling socially disconnected as he doesn't have any friends over there. Please if you can help him connect with people in Brighton 🙏
It"s changed so much, the nightlife has gone, the fashionable people have gone. Everyone on the streets is overrweight and scruffy, it just makes the city look grim all the time because of all these scruffy shameless ugly people
@pratiksakhiya6852 I am sorry as I said all my class mates have left Brighton and only a few people that in know who are 80 plus are still there.
How old is your brother and where dose he live in Brighton
Nice editing. You do make my city look very vibrant which is true. I am just about to move to my new apartment by the sea in Hove and hope the sunset is as nice as yours in the video.
Just applied for a job here. I'm US based but I wanted to check it out. Thanks for making me excited about the possibility of relocating!
Did you get the job??
@@LordCohliani No, they decided not to accommodate relocations :(
I was born in Brighton, and lived in that area until my family moved to the US. I am 56 now and wish I was back in Brighton.
Brighton is such a cozy and beautiful place, people are well nice as well 😊
@@claudia555 i currently live in the us and I’m way to young to move however these videos are really motivating! :)
Indeed Brighton and brightionions are the best people , I use to live in 66 east street brighton above wimpy if you remember . Near old stean bus stop . ..
@@humayunkabir9279 I do remember Wimpy!
Is it good place for kids? To bring up a family there?! X
Brighton is my dream place to live and go to collage. Ig I cant say much since I literally haven’t been before but it’s seems so charming and chill. Can’t wait to visit one day! Great video 😊
Thank you for this exactly what l was looking for!
love ur narration abt this town, im so excited to visit brighton one day :)
Brightonian here.
I grew up in Aldrington (pronounced All-dring-ton).
The cafe on Portland Rd you mentioned used to be a tile shop and friends of mine lived above it.
Wasn’t anywhere near as trendy around there as it is now.
Temple bar is nice, shame they got rid of the pool tables though.
2:32 - A family friend that has known me since I was a small child is in this shot and he was also immortalised in a painting by local artist Dan Lish that sold recently.
3:09 - Gardener St.
My uncle had a record store just there on the right where the pasty shop is now (pasty on facia just on shot).
Omg feels like I'm reading a novel haha
hello , how much is the rent to live there, my son is coming to study in university of brighton. Please reply
@@bsgarry - Tricky to answer.
Alone you could pay around £750 - £900 pcm.
A room in a house share could be around £300-500.
Use those estimates and if you find cheaper then you did well.
Namaste 🙏
My brother also recently shifted from London to Brighton. He is feeling socially disconnected as he doesn't have any friends over there. Please if you can help him connect with people in Brighton 🙏
Thank you for this video u remind me of amazing memories over there
I was there 2008/2009
Rly nice city and lovey friendly British ppl
I love Brighton
Your welcome! Brighton is awesome and the people is super friendly as you said. I am glad my video bring back some good memories you had. 🤩
I absolutely love Brighton, it is a magical place,I lived there in the sixties,I have visited there all my life from the age of six.we still go there for days out.The people are such a crazy lovely mix,there is nothing I enjoy more than sitting outside a pub “people watching,”I never get bored from doing that.The only time we noticed a change in the upkeep of Brighton was when the Green Party took over( did not expect it,but Brighton suddenly became dirty and scruffy.)let’s hope it gets better again now,❤️Chrissy
I'm thinking about moving to Brighton or Hove. Lovely place, and yep expensive, but so is London. But the sea air and beach is a win win.
Omg. This is a lovely video. I am so excited to move to Brighton from Vietnam. Big chance of my life. Never been in Europ countries before. Thank you so much for sharing
This is so sweet 💕I’m excited for you as well! Don’t forget to let me know how it goes 😊
You will like my city. Anywhere else in the UK is horrible.😁
@@johnnyc5765 I live in Newcastle after 8 years I come to Brighton and now I miss newcastle, Brighton is very boring and expensive, the mobile phone Vodafone is very slow everywhere, the wifi in my Airbnb the landlord said was super fast when I check the speed I couldn't reach 70Mb in Newcastle I can reach 500mb almost everwhere.the people dress like crazy colors , the city is super small you can see everything in 1hour the shops are rip off and the quality is just bad for what you pay. I had a hair cut £40 and in Newcastle is £10 for better one , the supermarket is small and very busy the roads are like Africa or worst super small with a lot of holes everywhere , you go for a village and there is no houses and you get stuck in traffic, the weather is colder than Newcastle , it's windy , I couldn't see anything good there I just arrived 5 days ago and I hate everything.I just going back what a place 🥴
@@nunosantos2015 Newcastle isn’t cheap either, comparing to where I used to live in the North East (Redcar & Stockton-on-Tees).
I paid £15 for a cut & wash in Brighton. Did you have yours permed? 😜
@@johnnyc5765 I believe you got £15 but here I have £9 Turkish barber. Brighton was so disappointed,they just want your money for you watch the sea haha here the beach is 100x much better and nicer than Brighton there is no beach is just rocks, shame!! That is beach for London people who never been in a real beach and want to watch the sea , is just a mini town to fool people money kkkk
Cheerful video, thank you for your effort!
Great Video 👍🏻
Please film more video about Brighton❤️🔥
yes! I have planned to make another one about Brighton ☺Stay tuned
Glad you left i’m wishing i can follow your example.
Our son went to Sussex University and we went to Brighton when we visited him. It was how we discovered how lovely the city is.
is Sussex uni good??? thinking of applying there
No the bus 5£ all day saver you can use it all day till midnight from bus to bus if you like to discover all the city county side ,now it's @ 5.50 day saver ticket,welcome to Brighton and there is some rental at less prices ,you just have to check different places .
Yeah great it’s the only cash handling business i know that hand their customers a credit note rather than make change. Of course you never get to spend it. Take a taxi, it actually costs less including a tip. If i’m going to spend ten pounds on a bus fare, you got to rip me once you will never get me twice. Covid paid off and they are doubtless getting it to pay off still to this day.
Nice place!
loved your video. Any more videos from other places in UK?
Yes I am working on the other one about Leeds Stay tuned
Actually you can buy a day ticket for the busses and travel for a whole day for not much more than £5
Yes I realised that £5 was for 2 people and we didn't know we could get a daily pass. Thank you for letting me know. 😉👍🏼
Love your video ❤️
Love it 🔥
Brighton is an amazing town! There are so many dreadful things about the dump, but the pretentious people who live there just can't see the wood for the trees! The drugs, the graffiti, the litter, the council, the parking, the traffic, the beach, the grotty housing, the beggars, the list is endless. Its only "desirable" and expensive because its an hour from London! Bath is the town Brighton could have been, but instead, its beautiful georgian buildings, have become squalid bedsits, surrounded by ravenous seagulls feasting around the communal street bins, during the annual summer bin strike!
Enjoy, I lived there for 50 years, and thankfully escaped, never to return!😂
It's worse now, there are protest marches every weekend.
Super cool 👍🏼 city 🏙️
If you're paying £5 every trip for a bus ticket I think you've been ripped off, or maybe you mistaken you're only went on The tourist buses
I'm pretty sure the fairies fixed at £2 per journey.
Are they still wearing sweater in April? Is weather still cold?
Yes unfortunately 🥲It's still cold even in May
I've got an offer to study Msc in User experience design at Brighton University. Can you tell me how good is the University? And how good is the city and expenses.
This is not the place to ask. Hope you checked google & uni forums. Good luck!
Is it tough to get accomodation in this place? I got offer from this plave. I would like to know about that
Lot's of accommodation if you can afford it.
I checked on AirBNb and there are no apartments even close to that price 😩
Yesssss it's quite expensive and we were lucky that we found a landlord could rent us a month for a lower rent since it wasn't the peak season.
Been in Brighton most of my long life. Unless you are a visitor or new to the area, you won't realize how crap Brighton has become.
Basically not work to do, only a few turistic shops. So sad...
nice video though you move the camera too fast.
AirBNB is making it unaffordable for Brighton residents to live in Brighton since the pandemic so many interesting and creative people have been displaced 😢
Oh My God that's so expensive!
Yes but we had a really nice time. Our rent was £1400 and you can't really drive depends where you can park it if you know what i know
Rainbow 🌈 city 😉
You got ripped off with the price of rent for a 1 bed in Brighton. I live in London and you can get 1 beds with a garden in a good location for that price. Always do your research
Hiya, would love to know where in London that is...
PLeased you love my home city
We really really love Brighton and wish to live there forever. ❤
Man, I was considering moving there but £5 per bus ticket is just mad😂
I have found online that you could get a day pass so it’s a bit cheaper if that would change your mind 😊
Middle esat is much more beautiful
Esat on sea?
