Brighton is a city on the South-East coast of the United Kingdom. Positioned in the county of (East) Sussex, it is very famous for its long beach, pier and seafront, the lanes, the Royal Pavillion and, more generally, the friendly atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you in this city, and we are planning tours and options for exploring the city together during your time at Lavender 30!
