About

North Laine & the Lanes form the historic commercial heart of Brighton, immediately north of the seafront. The Lanes is a dense network of narrow, twisting alleyways originally laid out in the fishing village's medieval street plan. It is now known for its jewellers, antique shops, and traditional pubs housed in old flint buildings. This area directly contrasts with the broader, grid-like streets of the adjacent North Laine.

North Laine features Victorian terraces converted into independent shops, cafes, and small galleries. The area is centred around Kensington Gardens, a pedestrianised street lined with market stalls. A specific local feature is the detailed mural of famous faces painted on the side of a building on Sydney Street, depicting notable Brighton residents. This district has a concentrated mix of retail, dining, and residential life within its compact footprint.
