Kemptown in Brighton

A photo of a street of houses in Brighton's Kemp Town.

East of the city centre and stretching as far as Brighton Marina, Kemptown, Brighton is a flamboyant mix of grand seafront crescents, elegant squares, and a bustling High Street shopping area with a lively village feel.

Kemptown has been the main shopping area in this part of Brighton since the late 18th century, which is reflected in the many independent businesses still thriving along this bustling thoroughfare. From long established names to recent gems you’ll find an amazing array of fabulous foods, independent wine shops, second hand stores and chic design shops.

Kemptown is also home to the city’s thriving ‘gay quarter’ so expect to find some more gay and lesbian orientated shops peppering the streets alongside the funky coffee houses, deli bars and specialist shops.

A bohemian, lively air mixed in with an eclectic range of shops makes Brighton Kemptown well worth adding to your shopping map.
