Just 47 miles south of London is the famed seaside town of Brighton. With its lovely esplanades, famous pier, sandy beaches and myriad restaurants and chip shops, a wonderful time is guaranteed here (Brighton was even named the UK's ‘happiest place to live’ in 2015). A well-established resort town, you will be hard pressed to leave disappointed. Want a poolside cocktail overlooking Brighton beach? Head to Soho House's beachside outpost. On the hunt for all things quaint? Take a peek into many of the independent shops and cafés dotted throughout the resort. Are you a history buff? Brighton is covered with traces of the region's Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon ancestors, all of which truly bring history to life. Antonia Bentel
