    It is not easy to get yourself lost walking around the Brighton lanes as they are only a small area between Brighton main shopping area of Churchill sqaure and the seafront. There are plenty of interesting shops, pubs and other eateries!

    The Lanes is a lovely place to spend time in, there are so many weird and wonderful shops, it's even better than Carnaby Street in London.

    There are Cafes, Coffee shops, Jewellery shops, a shop that sells all Hippy stuff, bag shops, shoe shops, etc, etc. But my favourite shops are the old Armoury shops, these have stuff from World wars 1 and 2, Samurai swords and uniforms, guns, knives and swords from all different times, even small cannons!, just about anything that you can think of to do with battle. It makes for very interesting browsing I would say

  • Somewhat confusingly there appears to be two spellings for Brighons heavily promoted specialist shopping area. The 'south Laines [if i can call it that] seemed the more picturesque and contained more shops that sourbugger could tolerate over his usual shop attention span of about three minutes. The medieval feel of the layout could still be detected amongst the designer Italian gear and trinkitry from every corner of the developing world.

    ill also add a plug here for www.brightonwalks.com - they do a guided walk of the area.

    Men beware - women could spend months in the shopping blackhole that is Brighton's Lanes.

    Do browse around the area which is know as The Lanes, this collection of narrow streets covering about 1 square mile is the oldest area in Brighton dated around 17th centuary. Home to some unique shops mostly selling jewellery, perfume & antiques. Scattered around the area is a host of coffee shops & eateries.

    Prices tend to be on the high side but then again it is a one off shop - you decide

    The Lanes area stretches on and on... many, winding streets with more and more shops and restaurants. We were lucky to be there on a warm, summer day.

    The lanes are a series of narrow walkways where you will find lots of small shops selling mainly antique jewellery.

    The old village of Brighthelmstone had 4 main streets in the Medieval Ages: North, East, West and South. What started as a small settlement became a large maze of narrow cobblestone streets which is along the lines of what you see today. In 1514 French ‘visitors’ decided to get really Medieval and burned the place to the ground. The locals, after repelling them, rebuilt along the same narrow twisty mazes as before.

    Today you will find Jewellery Shops, designer clothes, historic Pubs, souvenirs and a small square, called Brighton Square. It is well worth getting lost in. Not for long, the area is rather compact.

    The old town centre is preserved as THE LANES, small cottages in twisting lanes, with lots of quaint little shops, restaurants and pubs. It’s great for some relaxed shopping, although it can be very crowded in the narrowest streets.
