Travelling in Brighton By Foot

Two people looking at a Brighton signage map.

Brighton is a very compact city and most places are within walking distance, making it a great place to explore on foot.

The railway station is only 10 minutes from the city centre and the sea is literally a stone's throw from the city's main attractions, shops, restaurants, hotels and nightlife.

In fact most of Brighton & Hove's key central areas are accessible on foot within just 15 minutes.

You might find the following resources useful when walking the city:

Think of your safety

Although Brighton is a compact, safe place to walk on foot, please remember to concentrate when crossing the road:

  • Find somewhere safe to cross, for example, a pedestrian crossing*
  • 'Stop and look' before you step off the pavement
  • Look in all directions, as traffic can come from all directions.

*When using a pedestrian crossing, only cross when the green man shows. When the red man shows, do not cross. When the green man signal begins to flash at a pelican crossing, do not cross. Press the button and wait until the sequence begins again.
